Upon purchasing the property, the members of the council built three buildings, Browning Lodge on the old carriage shed foundation, the Allen Memorial Dining Hall (since expanded), and on the foundation of the old barn, the Kindness Center, a building built with funding from the [[ASPCA]] to remind the Scouts not to be cruel to animals. Other original facilities include an Olympic-size swimming pool (the largest pool east of the Mississippi River at the time), the Reynolds Family farmhouse (known as the "White House"), and five "stockade" sites: Sherwood Forest, Boonesboro (named for [[Daniel Boone]]), | Upon purchasing the property, the members of the council built three buildings, Browning Lodge on the old carriage shed foundation, the Allen Memorial Dining Hall (since expanded), and on the foundation of the old barn, the Kindness Center, a building built with funding from the [[ASPCA]] to remind the Scouts not to be cruel to animals.

Since then, the camp has expanded to include the following sites: Octoraro, Timberline, (Harold) Schramm, (Col. Clifton) Lisle, [[Dan Beard]], (Gilbert) Rothrock, and [[Owen J. Roberts]]. Five of the sites; Octoraro, Timberline, Schramm, Lenni Lenape, and Dan Beard, are tent sites, while Rothrock and Roberts have adirondack shelters. Lisle, originally a tent site, is currently being converted to a stockade site, but with stockades designed with oversized roofs to eliminate the need for canvas flaps for rain protection. | Since then, the camp has expanded to include the following sites: Octoraro, Timberline, (Harold) Schramm, (Col.
