Girl Scouts Introduces Exclusive Get Ready with Girl Scouts Program

Exclusive Program to Help Pre-K and Kindergarten Girls Prepare for the School Year Ahead

By Girl Scouts of Southeast Florida June 25, 2025

Summer is all about fun, but it can also be a great time to help your girl prepare for a new school year. Now through the end of July, Girl Scouts of Southeast Florida has a fun way to help prepare incoming kindergarteners and rising first graders for the upcoming school year with the new, exclusive Get Ready with Girl Scouts™ program. It’s filled with fun, adventure, and friendship as the girls grow their confidence, use their imagination, and build skills they can take into the next school year.

By registering for Girl Scouts during this special summer program, girls will receive three school readiness, skill-building activity books, available in English and Spanish, shipped directly to them. The books will help prepare girls for kindergarten and first grade with fun, character-building activities that emphasize motor skills, communication, critical thinking, emotional regulation, and more through imaginative play, puzzles, and teamwork activities.  

“This program is meant to inspire young learners. We want to build their confidence, promote curiosity, and engage them in activities that will serve them well in the fall,” said Lisa Johnson, CEO of Girl Scouts of Southeast Florida. “They will be introduced to the Girl Scout journey where they will unlock a world of possibilities and join our newest generation of future leaders.”

When signing up for Get Ready with Girl Scouts, girls will receive a Girl Scout membership through September 30, 2026. As new Daisy-level Girl Scouts, they can choose from a variety of activities, surround themselves with supportive peers, and engage with mentoring adults.
