New Exploremores™ Girl Scout Sandwich Cookie Joins National Lineup for 2026 Season
September 09, 2025
St. Louis, MO, Sept. 9, 2025 – Today, Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri announced that Exploremores™, a rocky road ice cream–inspired sandwich cookie, will join the lineup for the 2026 Girl Scout Cookie season, available for purchase January 6, 2026. 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, both online and in person at local booths, during the upcoming 2026 Girl Scout Cookie season alongside fan favorites like Thin Mints® and Samoas®.
During the Girl Scout Cookie Program, girls stretch their limits, embrace challenges, think creatively and believe in their own potential. While earning Cookie program badges, girls master the ability to set goals, make decisions, manage money, develop people skills and learn business ethics.
“The launch of Exploremores is more than a cookie. It is an opportunity for girls to use their hard-earned cookie funds to plan activities such as a trip of a lifetime with their troop. The Cookie Program also builds a wide range of professional skills that girls will carry with them as they grow and develop in their future careers,” said GSEM CEO Dr. Natissia Small. “It allows girls to lead, explore, and grow, while gaining the confidence to create a brighter 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 package 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 to help fund life-changing programs and experiences for Girl Scouts in Eastern Missouri.
