"A new Girl Scout cookie called "Exploremores" comes in a well-known ice-cream flavor. But the 2026 cookie season will feature fewer options overall. Fans of rocky road ice cream can rejoice because the flavor - chocolate ice cream swirled with nuts and marshmallows - will be available in Girl Scout cookie form next year. (Girl Scouts of Greater Los Angel)"
"The youth organization has its members sell the cookies to learn people skills and how to manage money. Proceeds help to fund philanthropic causes and programs such as field trips and camp visits. Initially, the cookies sold were homemade, but the Girl Scouts turned to commercial bakers by the 1930s. Two commercial bakers supply the millions of boxes sold every Girl Scout cookie season: ABC Bakers, headquartered in Richmond, Va., and Little Brownie Bakers, owned by Ferrero U.S.A. and headquartered in Louisville, Ky."
Exploremores, a sandwich cookie inspired by rocky road ice cream and filled with chocolate, marshmallow and toasted almond-flavored crème, will join the Girl Scout cookie lineup for the 2026 selling season, which typically runs January through April. Overall cookie offerings will decrease after Girl Scouts previously announced retirement of S'mores and Toast-Yay! flavors. S'mores debuted in 2017; Toast-Yay! debuted in 2021. Members sell cookies to learn people skills and money management. Proceeds fund philanthropic causes and programs including field trips and camp visits. Two commercial bakers, ABC Bakers and Little Brownie Bakers, supply millions of boxes each season.
