Edward Bushrod “E.B.” Stahlman, Jr. (1898-1974) is the namesake for Camp Stahlman at Boxwell Reservation. In Scouting circles, he was best known for his work in making the Old Hickory Lake Boxwell a reality. He was a behind-the-scenes player in securing the Congressional Act that cleared the title for 525 acres on the lake so the Council could hold a capital development campaign in 1959 for the construction of the fourth Boxwell. The campaign is said to have been the most successful in Scouting history up to that point, bringing in over a million dollars. Outside of Scouting circles, Stahlman was part of a long line of newspaper men. He was co-owner and vice president of the local newspaper The Nashville Banner. The Banner was the afternoon paper, owned and presided over by E. B.’s brother James G. Stahlman. Stahlman was also a member of and held offices in the Nashville-Davidson County Red Cross, the Nashville Chamber of Commerce, the Kiwanis Club, the Key Club, the Community Chest, the Salvation Army, and more. He suffered a stroke in September 1968, which removed him from activity with the Banner and most of his other charitable work. Stahlman passed away on June 12, 1974.

Aubrey B. Harwell, Jr. is the embodiment of Scouting in Middle Tennessee. A native Nashvillian, Harwell reached the rank of Eagle in the Council and attended Boxwell Reservation as a youth and then as a leader and Scout parent. He is currently a trustee of the Council, has served as Council President and on the Executive Board for many years. He was treasurer of the board of the National BSA and is a recipient of the Distinguished Eagle Scout Award, the Silver Beaver and Silver Buffalo and is a member of the Order of the Arrow. Harwell is also the honorary chairman of the current capital campaign for Boxwell Reservation. Because of his extraordinary service to and support of Scouting, the new Aubrey B. Harwell, Jr. Leadership Center (replacing Stahlman Dining Hall) will be named in his honor.

Howard B. Olson (1928-2008) is the namesake of the Order of the Arrow (OA) Lodge building at Boxwell Reservation. He was a member of the Lodge from the 1940s until his death. His stint as Lodge Advisor (1978-1982) transformed it into one of the premier lodges in the country. He served as Scoutmaster of Troop 92 in Nashville, VP of the Southern Region Area VI and thirteen years as OA Section VI (TN & KY) Advisor beginning in 1983. Olson was an Eagle Scout and was awarded the Silver Beaver, Silver Antelope and OA Distinguished Service Award. He served on the Middle Tennessee Council Board for over 40 years. Despite all of the awards and accolades, he was beloved as a humble and gracious mentor to scores of youth for decades. He would wear an ordeal sash even though he was a Vigil member because he wanted the ordeal youth to feel that they were just as much a part of things as he was. He would often ask, “Got a minute?” to start a conversation on ways the Lodge could improve service or help youth members. Though he suffered for years from MS, he never complained of his pain and did not let it stop his unwavering service to the Wa-Hi-Nasa Lodge and the Middle Tennessee Council.

Drs. Pamela and Philip Pfeffer have made significant contributions to the growth of the council’s properties and camp programs for many years. Their passion has been in the development and enhancement of the aquatics programs at Boxwell Reservation. The Pfeffers have not only provided the resources to expand the facilities at the Pfeffer Boat Harbor, but Dr. Philip Pfeffer has been a leader in the improvement of the aquatics programs at Boxwell. The Pfeffers truly believe that young people should have the opportunity to participate in a meaningful aquatics program starting as young as possible. For this reason, the Pfeffers funded and supported the development of the Pfeffer CubWorld Aquatics Center at Boxwell. This is a tremendous addition to the Cub Scout Program at Boxwell. Additionally, when you enter the Jet Potter Scout Service Center you are welcomed by the Pam Pfeffer Scout Family Service Area.

As an adult he served the Lodge as Lodge Adviser and Associate Adviser and the Middle Tennessee Council as a long-time Executive Board member. Chris was a mainstay at lodge events, helping the lodge by taking larger projects.

Chris jumped in to defend the Lodge.
