JACKSONVILLE, FL [01/23/26] — Introducing Exploremores™, a rocky road ice cream–inspired sandwich cookie! This newest edition has joined 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. Click here to watch the debut of the new ExploreMore cookie, featuring our CEO, Wendy Dordel, alongside Girl Scouts Krisha and McKenzie as they spotlight the cookie on a local news segment.
Girl Scouts across the United States will offer the Exploremores cookie nationally, both online and in person at local booths, during the 2026 Girl Scout Cookie season alongside fan favorites like Thin Mints® and Caramel deLites®.
Each cookie season, 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 acquire 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.
“The Girl Scout Cookie Program is so much more than selling cookies. It’s often a girl’s first step into entrepreneurship,” said Wendy Dordel, CEO of Girl Scouts Gateway Council. “With every goal she sets and every customer she meets, she’s building courage, confidence, and character that will last a lifetime. Each box of cookies represents a powerful investment in her future.”
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. Whether it’s building friendships and an appreciation for the outdoors during a week at resident camp, or sparking curiosity and a passion for STEM during a local program, proceeds from cookie sales stay local with Girl Scout councils and troops to help fund life-changing programs and experiences that prepare girls to build a better future for themselves, their community, and the world.
Ordering begins 01/02/2026 with shipping options immediately and girl delivery starting February 6th. Be sure to secure your cookies before the Cookie Program ends on 03/15/2026.
