Girl Scouts of Silver Sage kicks off 2026 cookie season with new flavor

Exploremores, inspired by rocky road ice cream, joins the classic lineup this year

BOISE — Girl Scouts of Silver Sage has launched the 2026 Girl Scout Cookie season, and this year brings something new to the beloved lineup: Exploremores, a cookie inspired by rocky road ice cream.

According to a news release, the new cookie is filled with chocolate, marshmallow, and toasted almond-flavored crème and is designed to reflect the spirit of exploration at the heart of every Girl Scout. It joins a roster of returning classics that includes Thin Mints, Caramel deLites, Peanut Butter Patties and other fan favorites.

The Girl Scout Cookie Program is billed in the release as the largest girl-led entrepreneurial program in the world, and local council leaders say it offers far more than a seasonal treat. When girls participate, they set goals, build customer relationships, and make real business decisions — experiences the organization says build lasting confidence and leadership skills.
