This recognition of a Purple Bead strung on a thong, is awarded to the staff member with whom you would most like to camp again.

Tracey Stock (74-78) wrote:

"...it was first awarded [to staff] at the final banquet in 1976 by Ian Jones (63-67,73-78). This was the same year the HSR Staff Award was first issued.... Ian's introduction of the Purple Bead characterized it as recognition of attitude and skill in the finest traditions of Scouting and the HSR Staff. Noting that everyone on staff was part of that fine tradition, he said the Purple Bead served to honour the "best among the best"..."

This award is now voted on by secret ballot of the junior staff members.
