Long Valley Gil Scout Earns Gold Award

LONG VALLEY, NJ — A Long Valley Girl Scout was recognized by the Morris County Board of Freeholders for her Gold Award project honoring Long Valley.

Victoria Lynn Carson, a graduate of West Morris Central High School and current Syracuse University student, created a time capsule of Long Valley to help promote town unity for her Gold Award project. She created a website and flyers, interviewed Washington Township officials, surveyed more than 350 students, took photos of the town, researched the town’s history, and sought donations of artifacts to be preserved, according to a press release.

“It is really a privilege for the Board of Freeholders to celebrate the positive efforts of these young men and women who took it upon themselves to make positive impacts on their respective communities,’’ said Freeholder Director Doug Cabana. “They, obviously, are the future leaders of Morris County, and we salute them.’’
