Joseph P. Magruder Sr. Annual Camping Award History of the Award As camping Chairman for the Tequesta District from 1967-1975, Joe planned and supervised events for the more than 30 Boy Scout Troops in Tequesta District. In an effort to encourage Troops to get away from once a year camping trips and to develop a more regular, skill developing cmaping program, the Joseph P. Magruder Sr. Annual Camping Award was introduced in 1976. The design of the trophy is a bronze tent with campfire which was created and made by Paul Rossell at the Rossell Foundry in Miami. The mahogany base was hand crafted by Scout Bob Vel at Peterson's Refinishing Company. The trophy is presented to the Troop which goes camping the most number of nights during the calendar year. The Troop number is engraved upon a plaque on the base. The trophy is then presented at the annual Tequesta District dinner each spring. Because the trophy is passed from troop to troop, the winning troop also received a commemorative plaque to keep in their meeting place.
