Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois Introduces

Exclusive Get Ready with Girl Scouts™ Program 

                                        Innovative program helps pre-K children and kindergarteners prepare for school  

Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois 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 kindergarteners who are new to Girl Scouting kick off their summer with fun and adventures while gaining new friendships. Children will grow their confidence, use their imagination, and build skills they can take into the next school year. Through this special program, they 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 children 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. 

By signing up for the Get Ready with Girl Scouts™ program, pre-K and kindergartners will receive a Girl Scout membership through September 30, 2026. As Girl Scouts, they can choose from a variety of activities, surround themselves with supportive peers, and engage with mentoring adults.

We’re Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois 

 Girl Scouts bring their dreams to life and work together to build a better world. Through programs from coast to coast, Girl Scouts of all backgrounds and abilities can be unapologetically themselves as they discover their strengths and rise to meet new challenges—whether they want to climb to the top of a tree or the top of their class, lace up their boots for a hike or advocate for climate justice, or make their first best friends. Backed by trusted adult volunteers, mentors, and millions of alums, Girl Scouts lead the way as they find their voices and make changes that affect the issues most important to them. To join us, volunteer, reconnect, or donate, visit www.girlscoutsni.org.
