Murphy’s project was repairing and upgrading Marconi Park, located at Easton Avenue and John F. Kennedy Boulevard.

Troop 154 is chartered by the Franklin Township Police PBA Local 154. Ptl. Dexter Mckelvin was there to represent the PBA Local.

Mayor Philip Kramer and Township Councilman James Vassanella (D-Ward 5) presented Murphy with a council commendation for his Eagle project,

Somerset County Freeholder, and former township Mayor, Brian Levine presented Murphy with a citation from the Freeholders for his accomplishment.

Murphy also received a hand-engraved cedar plaque from his Scout Leader, Mark Timari.

Murphy wasn’t the only one who received commemorative items during the ceremony.
