Girl Scouts of Southeastern New England Kicks Off National Cookie Season by Welcoming Exploremores™ to the Cookie Lineup
Girl Scouts in southeastern New England embark on the highly anticipated 2026 Girl Scout Cookie season, channeling their entrepreneurial skills through creativity and exploration.
WARWICK, RI (January 13, 2026)—Girl Scouts of Southeastern New England has officially kicked off the 2026 Girl Scout Cookie™ season as Girl Scouts explore more possibilities through the largest girl-led entrepreneurial program in the world.
Exploremores™, a rocky road ice cream–inspired sandwich cookie, will join the legendary lineup for the 2026 Girl Scout Cookie season. Filled with delicious flavors of chocolate, marshmallow and toasted almond–flavored crème, Exploremores reflect the spirit of exploration at the heart of every Girl Scout. In addition to the exciting new cookie, the 2026 cookie lineup will include fan favorites such as Thin Mints®, Caramel deLites®, Peanut Butter Patties® and more.
The Girl Scout Cookie Program ® provides invaluable entrepreneurial skills for Girl Scouts across the country and funds experiences such as service projects, troop travel, and summer camp. From a curious kindergartener amazed by jellyfish at the local aquarium, to a middle schooler finding the courage to go on her first overnight trip with her troop, Girl Scouts know the road to discovery starts with exploration. Each cookie season, Girl Scouts develop important life skills like goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills and business ethics through the Girl Scout Cookie Program. All proceeds from cookie sales stay local to power Girl Scouts’ amazing experiences year-round.
Right now, Girl Scouts all over the world are exploring who they are, what they can do and all they can become. Your purchase helps them make the world a better place—one box of cookies at a time.
“After 109 years, Girl Scout Cookies continue to power our future leaders as the world’s largest girl-run entrepreneurial empire. More than just a sweet treat, our cookies act as the vehicle for skill-building and critical fundraising. Every box sold is an investment in our individual Girl Scouts, their troops, and the Council’s ability to provide high-quality, life-changing programs, and adventures as they bring positivity to the world,” said Dana Borrelli-Murray, GSSNE CEO.
This season, Girl Scouts of Southeastern New England calls on community members to support their favorite cookies—and the girls behind each box. All proceeds from cookie sales stay with Girl Scouts of Southeastern New England troops to fuel inspiring experiences throughout the year including camp, amazing trips, service projects, and much more. Local Girl Scouts will be selling cookies through the end of March. Please support your local Girl Scouts by ordering from a Girl Scout you know or by visiting gssne.org/findcookies to find a booth near you.

We Are Girl Scouts
Girl Scouts bring their dreams to life and work together to build a better world. Through programs across Southeastern New England, girls and gender-expansive youth of all backgrounds and abilities can be unapologetically themselves in a safe space as they discover their strengths and rise to meet new challenges. Backed by strong friendships and trusted adult volunteers, mentors, and millions of alums, Girl Scouts lead the way as they find their voices and make changes that affect the issues most important to them. Girl Scouts feel comfortable trying new things without the pressure to be perfect, speaking their minds, and processing their emotions in healthy ways. They discover how being different makes them special, strengthens their sense of belonging, and, ultimately, makes them proud to be themselves. That’s the magic of Girl Scouting.
