The logo, “Virginia is for Lovers”, marked its 50th anniversary this year. In celebration of this iconic logo, the Virginia Tourism Corporation provided grants to 38 communities across the Commonwealth to showcase what makes a vacation in Virginia so special, and to show travelers why “Virginia is for Lovers” still rings true 50 years later. To celebrate “50 Years of Love”, Scott County Tourism has created a commemorative, trackable geocoin. Once you have found all 11 geocaches on our new geotrail and completed the required "passport" you will receive one of the commemorative geocoins. There are 100 geocoins available and once they're gone we have a special Scott County trackable to give to geocachers who have completed the passport.
"The Benefits Are Endless"
Park and recreation activities help to deter crime and help our youth develop into contributing members of our communities. Park and recreation experiences help older members of our community continue their life experiences.
Parks, greenways, and open spaces are critical components to protecting and preserving our natural environment. Programming provided through park and recreation agencies combats the national obesity epidemic through the development of healthy lifestyles, strong minds, and fit bodies.
Park and recreation facilities make communities desirable places to live, work, play, and visit, thereby contributing to the ongoing economic vitality of communities throughout our country.
