Adult Awards
The William H. Spurgeon, III Award

a business executive at the Irvine Company in Southern California who personally
organized many special interest posts in the 1960's. Mr. Spurgeon served
for many years as a member of the National Council Executive Board and
National Exploring Committee. His pioneering efforts led to the present
