New Exploremores™ Girl Scout Sandwich Cookie Joins Nationwide Lineup for 2026 Season
September 09, 2025
Taking after the classic chocolate treat, the new rocky road ice cream–inspired cookie captures the limitless spirit of exploration that drives Girl Scouts.
Houston, Texas (Sept. 9, 2025) —Today, Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council, one of the largest councils in the country, announced that Exploremores™, a rocky road ice cream–inspired sandwich cookie, will join the lineup for the 2026 Girl Scout Cookie season. Filled with delicious flavors of chocolate, marshmallow and toasted almond–flavored crème, Exploremores reflect the spirit of exploration at the heart of every Girl Scout. Girl Scouts across the United States will offer the Exploremores cookie - online and in person at local cookie booths - during the upcoming cookie season alongside fan favorites like Thin Mints® and Caramel deLites®.
Each cookie season, thanks to the Girl Scout Cookie Program, girls push their limits, embrace challenges, think creatively, and believe in their own potential. While earning skill-building badges such as the My First Cookie Business, My Cookie Customer, and My Cookie Team badges, girls receive leadership and entrepreneurial tools needed for brighter futures. As entrepreneurs, girls master the ability to set goals, make decisions, manage money, develop people skills, and learn business ethics.
Every purchase of Exploremores—and the entire lineup of iconic Girl Scout Cookies—helps girls unbox a world of possibilities, one cookie at a time. With each cookie box sold, consumers are supporting Girl Scouts as they learn, grow and thrive through all of life’s adventures. All proceeds from cookie sales stay local with Girl Scout councils and troops to help fund life-changing programs, experiences, and learnings all year long.
To add to the excitement, Girl Scouts of the USA is pleased to welcome Adobe as a national sponsor of the 2026 Girl Scout Cookie Program. Through collaboration with Adobe, girls will be encouraged to express their individuality and think creatively to advance their goals this Girl Scout Cookie season.

We Are Girl Scouts
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.gssjc.org.
