Local Girl Scout leader advances to wildcard round in online contest

Local Blanchester Girl Scout Leader Ida Miller of Troop #45988 entered a contest to try to win a National Park adventure for her troop. Miller has advanced to the wildcard round and would love community folks to cast a free daily vote.

Vote online at https://ultexplorer.org/2024/ida-miller-u9JK. Voting for the wildcard round ends Sunday, Sept. 22 at 7 p.m.

Daily voting is free and for the finals (begin Oct. 11 and end Oct. 17), votes will be reset. Public voting will determine which finalist will be the winner of the 2024 Ultimate Explorer Competition (the “Grand Prize Winner”). Grand Prize Winner will be announced on or before Oct. 25.

Miller has had the troop since 2012, and one of the girls has been with the troop 11 years. The girls decided a few years back they would like to go to the Grand Canyon and experience parts of Route 66 for their senior trip. They have sold cookies, worked craft shows, sold hot dogs at Lebanon’s annual Irons Apple Fest, hosted bake sales and more to earn funds, so when their leader saw this contest, she entered.

Please cast a free daily vote at https://ultexplorer.org/2024/ida-miller-u9JK to help these Girl Scouts make a once-in-a-lifetime memory to the Grand Canyon.
