In the first five years of Camp Miakonda, individual Scout troops built their own log cabins, and by February 1923 there were eighteen troop-owned cabins, each with its troop number painted on the roof. Many of those cabins still exist. In 1923 they belonged to Troop 1-Toledo Rotary and YMCA, Troop 6-Washington Congregational Church, Troop 8-Epworth M.E. Church, Troop 17-Garfield School, Troop 22-Ashland Avenue Baptist Church, Troop 23-Glenwood School, Troop 29-First Congregational Church, Troop 33-Sacred Heart, Troop 36-Good Shepherd, Troop 39-Cathedral Chapel, Troop 41-Mott Library, Troop 45-Raymer School, Troop 49-Auburndale School, Troop 52-Rosewood Presbyterian Church, Troop 53-Elks, Troop 77-Oakdale School, Troop 78-Newbery School, and Troop 1-of Sylvania. At that time Miakonda also had the Wardens Lodge, a barn, storehouse, bath house, engine house, five bunkhouses called the original Adirondacks, the camp kitchen, which later became the infirmary, and bathroom accommodations. Other early buildings later included the Ford Dining Hall in 1924 and an ice house for storing ice to cool food in summer. The original 1917 building at camp was called the Main Cabin, and the second thing built at Miakonda was the original Adirondack-type shelters in 1918. In the early 1920s, an athletic field was built at Miakonda through the support of Toledo businessman James Brown Bell, one of three notable benefactors in 1924 along with Thomas DeVilbiss and Mrs. Edward (Caroline) Ford. Called the Bell Athletic Field, it included a quarter-mile oval cinder-based running track and stood where the present Parade Field now exists. The field appears on a 1927 topographical map showing Miakonda before Great Depression-era projects such as Lake Sawyer, the Council Lodge, the treehouses, and the Warehouse. The Bell Athletic Field existed at least as early as 1924 and lasted until the 1934 excavation of Lake Sawyer, when much of the dirt was placed over the athletic field. Bell had co-founded Bell and Beckwith in the 1890s and was also a founder of the Toledo Glass Company. For decades, the Parade Field has served as a gathering place for Scouts during summer camp and weekend events, and the large pine trees around it were planted in the 1920s by Scouts who raised them from seeds in one of the camp's six tree nurseries. Scouts planted 18,000 trees at Miakonda between 1917 and 1943.
