NEW YORK (May 6, 2025) — Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) is preparing incoming Daisies (rising kindergarteners and first graders in fall 2025) for the upcoming school year with the new, exclusive Get Ready with Girl Scouts™ program. The Get Ready with Girl Scouts™ program, open now until June 30, will help current pre-K and kindergarten girls who are new to Girl Scouting kick off their summer with fun and adventures while gaining new friendships. Girls will grow their confidence, use their imagination and build skills they can take into the next school year. Through this special program, girls will receive three skill-building activity books, shipped directly to them from June through August 2025, unlocking a world of possibilities.
These school-readiness activity books, available in English and Spanish, will help prepare girls for kindergarten and first grade through fun, character-building Girl Scout activities. The Get Ready with Girl Scouts™ program emphasizes important skills such as motor skills, communication, critical thinking, emotional regulation and more through imaginative play, puzzles and teamwork activities.
“Starting a new school year is a huge transition for girls, and Girl Scouts is thrilled to help parents and caregivers prepare for these milestone years,” said GSUSA CEO Bonnie Barczykowski. “The Get Ready with Girl Scouts™ program will provide girls with skills they need to navigate this transition and help them discover their self-interests and build self-esteem, which will help set them up for success in kindergarten, first grade and beyond.”
By signing up for the Get Ready with Girl Scouts™ program, girls will receive a Girl Scout membership through September 30, 2026. As Girl Scouts, girls can choose from a variety of activities, surround themselves with supportive peers, and engage with mentoring adults.
