Girl Scouts Introduce Exploremores, a New Cookie for 2026

In September 2025, the Girl Scouts of the USA announced the addition of a new cookie to their lineup for the 2026 cookie season. Exploremores, a rocky road ice cream-inspired sandwich cookie, will join classic favorites like Thin Mints and Samoas when the cookie season kicks off in January 2026.

The new Exploremores cookie is described as "filled with delicious flavors of chocolate, marshmallow and toasted almond-flavored crème." Like other Girl Scout cookies, proceeds from the sale of Exploremores will stay with local troops and councils to fund "life-changing programs, experiences and learnings" for Girl Scouts throughout the year.

In addition to the new cookie, the Girl Scouts will be collaborating with Adobe, which will serve as a national sponsor of the 2026 Girl Scout Cookie Program. Through this partnership, girls will be "encouraged to express their individuality and think creatively to advance their goals" during the upcoming cookie season.

The Girl Scout Cookie Program is a crucial part of the organization, helping girls develop essential skills like goal-setting, decision-making, money management, and business ethics. The addition of Exploremores and the Adobe sponsorship are expected to further enhance the program's impact on the next generation of female leaders.
