Girl Scouts of Southeast Florida Introduces Exploremores Cookie for 2026 Season
The Girl Scouts of Southeast Florida's new Exploremores cookie represents the organization's commitment to entrepreneurial development and leadership skills for young women through its iconic cookie program.
The Girl Scouts of Southeast Florida announced the addition of Exploremores, a rocky road ice cream-inspired sandwich cookie, to their lineup for the 2026 cookie season. This new offering features chocolate, marshmallow, and toasted almond-flavored crème, reflecting the spirit of exploration central to the Girl Scouts mission. Lisa Johnson, CEO of Girl Scouts of Southeast Florida, emphasized that Exploremores represents more than just a new product, stating it embodies the bold, adventurous spirit of every Girl Scout.
The introduction of Exploremores carries significant implications for the organization's educational and financial objectives. The Girl Scout Cookie Program serves as the largest girl-led entrepreneurial program globally, providing essential skill development in goal setting, decision-making, money management, people skills, and business ethics. Proceeds from cookie sales remain local, supporting troop activities, leadership development, STEM programming, outdoor adventures, and community service projects throughout South Florida.
Girl Scouts across the region will offer Exploremores alongside established favorites including Thin Mints, Samoas, and Tagalongs through multiple sales channels. The 2026 cookie season runs from January 12 through February 15, with cookies available online, door-to-door, and at local cookie booths. Consumers can visit girlscoutcookies.org or text "Cookies" to 59618 for availability notifications.
The strategic expansion of the cookie lineup demonstrates the organization's ongoing commitment to maintaining relevance while supporting its core mission. The program's success directly impacts the development of leadership qualities in young women, helping them build courage, confidence, and character that extend beyond their scouting years.
