Is Your Girl Kindergarten-Ready?

Girl Scouts can help!

As she takes her first steps towards independence, your girl becoming school-aged can be an overwhelming concept to accept. What will she learn? Will she make friends? Girl Scouts is here to help!

Our uniquely designed kindergarten and 1^st grade readiness program, known as Daisy Launch, will help to strengthen her social skills, while providing fun and safe activities as she explores the ever-changing world around her.

Similar to what Girl Scout Daisies do, the Daisy launch readiness program will allow her to make new friends, grow in confidence, and build skills that will help her in school and beyond.

Will my girl be placed into a troop?: You will be contacted when a troop becomes available in your area. While we can't guarantee you a troop that will fit your needs, we will try our best to accommodate everyone. We appreciate your patience in this process!

When can my girl begin her Girl Scout adventure?: With an extended-year membership, your girl can begin her Girl Scout adventure in May! Whether or not your girl is placed in a troop, there are ways for girls to participate.
