The Troop also received the Jerry Campbell Camping Award through Tamegomit Lodge of the Order of the Arrow and Heart of America Council. The award is named after a great uncle of Scouts Joe and Josh Waisner of Troop 55. It is earned by having an active Order of Arrow troop representative, Clayton Pfeifer, who must write an essay and attend chapter meetings. The troop must also earn the Twelve Month Camping Award. Earning the award was very special for the troop because of the family relationship.
