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.
