Edwin W. Craig (1893-1969) is the namesake for Camp Craig. While Craig himself had passed away before the campaign that built the camp in 1972, the Craig family contributed in his name to honor his name. His son, Neil Craig, was Council President from 1974-1975. The Craig family continues to contribute to Boxwell Reservation today, most recently funding the renovations to the dining hall. Craig himself was perhaps single-handedly responsible for making Nashville the Country Music capital of the world. His primary job was president of National Life and Insurance Company. He had joined the company in 1913 and risen through the ranks to become president by 1943. Craig used radio to advertise and promote his company. The WSM radio station was started by Craig; in fact, the name WSM is an acronym for “We Shield Millions,” or millions of insurance policies. Craig would go on to found the Grand Ole Opry as one of his principle radio programs. Craig reshaped Nashville and the South as a whole.

Robert Donnell “Don” Stanford III (1941-1959) received his Eagle Rank and God and Country award in 1957 at Troop 1 in Brentwood. In 1956 he was selected along with eleven other Scouts to attend a 26 day Junior Leadership Training at Philmont. In July of 1957, Don was one of twelve Scouts selected by the MTC to attend the International Jamboree held at Sutton Coldfield, Warwickshire-near Birmingham, England. Don was also selected by the MTC to be the TN Governor of the Day during the Scout Citizenship Day held on March 14, 1958. Sadly, Don passed away in 1959 and his service was overseen by Dr. William Courtenay, the namesake of the current Eagle Scout Courtenay Award. Don’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert D. Stanford Jr., arranged for the Don Stanford Chapel to be built in 1964 in his memory. They chose the site because it was the highest point at Boxwell and you could view the lake from the inside of the chapel. Mr. Stanford, Jr. was the James E. West Commissioner in the 1960s, Silver Beaver Recipient in 1963 and later a Silver Antelope Recipient.
