"Taking after the classic chocolate treat, the ... cookie captures the limitless spirit of exploration that drives Girl Scouts," Girl Scouts of the USA said in a news release.
Girl Scouts of the USA will also be working closely with Adobe, which will serve as a national sponsor of the 2026 Girl Scout Cookie Program.
"Through collaboration with Adobe, girls will be encouraged to express their individuality and think creatively to advance their goals this Girl Scout Cookie season," according to GSUSA.
Here's what to know about Exploremores, including when you will be able to order them:
What are Exploremores cookies?
The rocky road ice cream–inspired sandwich cookie is "filled with delicious flavors of chocolate, marshmallow and toasted almond–flavored crème."
Proceeds from each box of Girl Scout Cookies sold, including Exploremores, stay with local troops and councils to fund "life-changing programs, experiences and learnings" throughout the year.
What are the benefits of selling Girl Scouts cookies?
As a result of the experience, Girl Scouts also acquire leadership and entrepreneurial skills needed for "brighter futures" all while working to earn the coveted My First Cookie Business, My Cookie Customer and My Cookie Team badges.
Some of those skills include the ability to set goals, make decisions, manage money, develop people skills and learn business ethics.
"Each cookie season, through theGirl Scout Cookie Program, girls push their limits, embrace challenges, think creatively and believe in their own potential," GSUSA said.
A variety of Girl Scout Cookies, including Adventurefuls, are pictured at a cookie stand in Michigan.
When does Girl Scouts' Cookie Season start?
According to GSUSA, Girl Scout Cookie season is recognized nationally from January through April, but local timing varies.
Most troops in Missouri kick off their sales in early January.
