Why Am I Doing This?
My name is Eli Musselwhite, I am a Boy Scout from Auburn, Alabama. I am the Service Chairman for the Order of the Arrow (OA) - an organization connected to the Boy Scouts of America (BSA). My job is to keep camp Frank G. Lumpkin (FGL) in good condition. However, I decided I wanted to take it a step farther after comparing camp FGL to other BSA camps. I realized that camp FGL, despite being larger than many other camps, was only having a fraction of the attendance. For example, Camp Daniel Boone, a well known BSA camp, has around 700 acres and has an attendance of about 5000 people at summer camp. FGL has about 900 acres, but only about 900 people attend summer camp. So, I decided that something needed to be done; after looking at my options I decided that building cabins would be the best thing for camp. They increase camp capacity, attract more people, and are more comfortable than the current tents. So the cabin project began...
