Girl Scouts of Southeast Florida Introduce Exploremores Cookie to Support Youth Development Programs

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 flavors of chocolate, marshmallow, and toasted almond-flavored crème, designed to reflect 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. "Exploremores is more than just a delicious new cookie. It represents the bold, adventurous spirit of every Girl Scout," Johnson stated. The cookie will be available through multiple sales channels, including online platforms, door-to-door sales, and local cookie booths during the 2026 season, alongside established favorites like Thin Mints, Samoas, and Tagalongs.

The significance of this announcement extends far beyond introducing a new flavor. The Girl Scout Cookie Program stands as the largest girl-led entrepreneurial program globally, serving as a critical platform for developing essential life skills. Participants gain practical experience in goal setting, decision-making, money management, interpersonal skills, and business ethics through their cookie sales activities.

Proceeds from cookie sales remain within local communities to support vital troop activities and development programs. These funds directly contribute to leadership development initiatives, STEM programming, outdoor adventures, and community service projects that empower girls to build courage, confidence, and character. The financial support generated through cookie sales enables the organization to maintain its commitment to fostering the next generation of female leaders.

The South Florida cookie season will run from January 12 to February 15, 2026, with additional details on local booth locations available through https://www.gssef.org. This expansion of the cookie lineup demonstrates the organization's ongoing commitment to innovation while maintaining its core mission of supporting youth development through entrepreneurial education.
