Girl Scouts of Kentuckiana and Girl Scouts of the USA are adding a new treat for the 2026 cookie season, just in time to sabotage New Year’s weight loss resolutions for some.
Inspired by Rocky Road ice cream, the Exploremores Girl Scout Sandwich Cookie combines the flavors of chocolate and marshmallow with toasted almond–flavored crème.
“Exploremores reflect the spirit of exploration at the heart of every Girl Scout,” the organization announced.
The cookie joins the national lineup of offerings, including Thin Mints and Samoas (Caramel deLites), online and from local groups.
Sales through the Girl Scout Cookie Program support programs at local Girl Scout councils and troops.
