Girl Scout Cookie fans have something new to look forward to this season.
The Girl Scouts of the USA announced Tuesday the launch of a brand new cookie flavor: Exploremores.
Inspired by rocky road ice cream, Exploremores are a sandwich cookie featuring the flavors of chocolate, marshmallow, and toasted almond–flavored crème.
The organization said in a press release that the cookies “reflect the spirit of exploration at the heart of every Girl Scout.”
Exploremores will be on sale as part of the 2026 Girl Scout Cookie season, which runs from January through April. Exact dates vary by location.
The new cookies join a lineup that includes Adventurefuls, Caramel Chocolate Chip, Samoas/Caramel deLites, Do-si-dos/Peanut Butter Sandwich, Lemonades, Lemon-Ups, Tagalongs/Peanut Butter Patties, Thin Mints, Toffee-tastic, and the classic Trefoils.
Notably absent from the upcoming season’s lineup are S’mores and Toast-Yay!, which have been discontinued.
The s’mores, which feature a gooey marshmallow-chocolate middle in between two graham cracker cookies, and the Toast-Yay!, a miniature French toast-flavored treat with a thin coat of icing, have been around since 2017 and 2021, respectively.
A reason for the discontinuation of the two flavors was not given when the news was announced earlier this year. However, it was the first time the Girl Scouts gave advanced notice that certain flavors would not return.
Still, plenty of options remain for cookie lovers to choose from when sales begin in a few months. Cookies can be purchased online or at pop-up tables around the country sponsored by local troops.
Those eager to get their hands on the new flavor (and the classics, too) can sign up for alerts on the Girl Scouts’ website or text “Cookies” to 59618 for the latest information.
The Girl Scout Cookie season has been around for over a century since the first inaugural sale came from a troop in Oklahoma.
In 1917, the Muskogee-based troop set out to sell batches of homemade cookies during lunchtime at their high school. Their hope was to raise enough money to fund their extracurricular activities.
All revenue raised by each Girl Scout troop can be put toward a special project or donated to a cause of their choosing, but it’s ultimately up to each group what they want to do with their total earnings.
