There's a New Girl Scout Cookie Flavor in Town

Girl Scouts Get Rid of 2 Cookie Flavors

Right before Girl Scout Cookie season began in 2025, we were hit with awful news.

2 Girl Scout cookie flavors would be set to retire. In a statement the Girl Scouts explained "We routinely reevaluate our cookie lineup to make room for new innovations."

The reevauluation conducted in 2024, concluded it was time to say goodbye to Toast-Yay and S'mores.

New Girl Scout Cookie Introduced for 2026 Cookie Season

With 2 vacant spots in the cookie line up, the Girl Scouts of America have announced that one of those spots is filled.

According to a press release, the 2026 cookie season will welcome the brand new Exploremores. They are described as "a rocky road ice cream–inspired sandwich cookie" that will be filled with "delicious flavors or chocolate, marshmallow and toasted almond–flavored crème."

The Girl Scouts write "Exploremores reflect the spirit of exploration at the heart of every Girl Scout."

Exploremores will join classics like Thin Mint, Tagalongs, and Samoas for the upcoming cookie season. Orders are usually placed between January and April and cookies go out for delivery from your local Girl Scouts around May.

The Girl Scout Cookie Program helps the girls "embrace challenges, think creatively and believe in their own potential." The Girl Scouts detail the importance of the program further adding:

As entrepreneurs, girls master the ability to set goals, make decisions, manage money, develop people skills and learn business ethics.

What Girl Scout Cookie Flavor Would You Want to See?

Will the 2nd vacant cookie spot be filled before the 2026 cookie season? I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Now that we know the Explore-Mores is flavored after Rocky Road ice cream, it seems like any kind of flavor goes.

If you were to make your own Girl Scout cookie, what flavor profile would you pick? Has there been a strawberry shortcake flavor yet? I think that's what I would go with.

Text us and let us know what cookie flavor you would pick, and who knows maybe the Girl Scouts will take your suggestions.

Until then, check out our rankings of the current flavors below:

How much a box of Girl Scout cookies costs throughout the years

February is the time of year we see Girl Scouts out hustling hard to sell their scrumptious cookies. We all know that the price of a box has gone up, but do you know how much the price has increased? Thanks to finance.yahoo.com, we now know.

Do You Remember These Girl Scout Cookie Flavors?

Can You Remember Your Favorite Girl Scout Cookie growing up?

As much as we enjoy Girl Scout Cookies in 2023, we often miss the ones that we used to love growing up. Have you heard of my personal favorite Girl Scout Cookies that are now retired?

Thanks-A-Lots

Shortbread cookies are always a win. This Girl Scout Cookie was dipped in chocolate and it also had a friendly message on it. It had the words "Thank You" on it.

Ole Oles

These powdered sugar cookies were delicious. They also had pecans and coconut mixed in and were reduced fat.

Lemon Chalet Creme

This was one of my favorite lemon cookies to ever exist. How could a lemon sandwich cookie ever go wrong? The added cinnamon and ginger made it one of a kind.

Juliettes,

I remember that these cookies were named after the founder of The Girl Scouts, Juliette Low. It reminded me of a chocolate turtle with its being covered in caramel, pecans and milk chocolate.

Ra Ra Raisens

This was unlike your ordinary raisin cookie. This Girl Scout Cookie brought in oatmeal and yogurt chips with the raisins.

Savannah Smiles

This Girl Scout Cookie knew how to put a smile on your face. They were lemon wedge cookies with powdered sugar.

Which Girl Scout Cookies Are Your Favorite?

I loved the Girl Scout Cookies that were discontinued but also enjoy the present day one as well.
