Girl Scouts of Southern Alabama unveils new cookie for 2026 season

Posted

A rocky road–inspired treat will soon join the iconic lineup of Girl Scout Cookies.

On Tuesday, Girl Scouts of Southern Alabama announced that Exploremores, a sandwich cookie filled with chocolate, marshmallow and toasted almond–flavored crème, will debut during the 2026 Girl Scout Cookie season. The new addition, designed to reflect the organization’s spirit of exploration, will be sold nationally by Girl Scouts at booths and online alongside fan favorites such as Thin Mints and Samoas.

The cookie program is the world’s largest girl-led entrepreneurial effort, where participants gain leadership, business and financial skills. Girls who take part in the program earn badges like My First Cookie Business, My Cookie Customer and My Cookie Team, while developing skills in goal-setting, money management, decision-making and ethics.

“Every purchase of Exploremores — and the entire lineup of iconic Girl Scout Cookies — helps girls unbox a world of possibilities, one cookie at a time,” the organization said in its announcement. “With each cookie box sold, consumers are supporting Girl Scouts as they learn, grow and thrive through all of life’s adventures.”

Proceeds from cookie sales remain with local councils and troops to fund programs, experiences and learning opportunities year-round.

The 2026 Girl Scout Cookie season in southern Alabama will begin Dec. 8, with Digital Cookie presales. Customers can sign up at www.girlscoutcookies.org to be notified when cookies are available locally or text “Cookies” to (596) 18- to receive updates.
