Girl Scouts of Silver Sage Kicks Off Cookie Season, Welcomes Exploremores™ to the Cookie Lineup
Girl Scouts in our area embark on the highly anticipated 2026 Girl Scout Cookie season, channeling their entrepreneurial skills through creativity and exploration.
BOISE, Idaho (Feb. 20, 2026) — Today, Girl Scouts of Silver Sage kicks off the 2026 Girl Scout Cookie™ Program as Girl Scouts explore more possibilities through the largest girl-led entrepreneurial program in the world.
The new cookie, Exploremores™, is inspired by rocky road ice cream. It will join the legendary 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. In addition to the exciting new cookie, the 2026 cookie lineup will include fan favorites such as Thin Mints®, Caramel deLites®, Peanut Butter Patties® and more.
"Every cookie season reminds us that the Girl Scout Cookie Program is so much more than a beloved tradition — it’s the largest, most powerful entrepreneurship experience for girls in the world!” said Dr. Angela Hemingway, CEO of Girl Scouts of Silver Sage. “When girls set goals, build customer relationships, and make real business decisions, they're not just selling cookies; they're developing the confidence, courage, and leadership skills that will shape their futures. We’re incredibly proud to support them as they transform curiosity into courage, ambition into action, and their own ideas into true entrepreneurial success."
The Girl Scout Cookie Program® provides invaluable entrepreneurial skills for Girl Scouts and funds experiences such as service projects, troop travel, and summer camp. All proceeds from cookie sales stay with local councils and troops to power Girl Scouts’ amazing experiences year-round. From a curious kindergartener, amazed by jellyfish at the local aquarium, to a middle schooler finding the courage to go on her first overnight trip with her troop, Girl Scouts know the road to discovery starts with exploration.
