Ryan Gajarawala '18 Makes a Difference

As part of his final step to becoming an Eagle Scout (the highest achievement attainable in the Scouting Program), Ryan Gajarawala '18, a member of Troop 2 of West Orange, had to complete an Eagle Scout Project. He built and constructed three benches for West Orange High School to raise awareness about traffic safety and distracted driving, as well as honor the memory of his friend, Nikhil Badlani, who was struck and killed by a distracted driver. Ryan dedicated an immense amount of time, effort and leadership into this project. The benches were presented on September 17 at the 7th Annual Stop For Nikhil 5K race in West Orange.
