Camp Parsons is situated on the Olympic Peninsula “where the mountains meet the sea.” This remarkable setting offers the rare experience of canoeing on glassy salt water, while gazing along a densely forested shoreline. Camp Parsons is one of the oldest Scout camps in America, providing wilderness adventure to Scouts and Scouters since 1919. Special features include the climbing tower, 16-position rifle and archery ranges, and the Fort Dukabush museum. Swimming, canoeing, and sailing in the saltwater aquatics area are other popular activities available to visitors. Camp Parsons: Pre-Camp Leader Meeting Troops attending Camp Parsons in 2008 should plan on sending a delegation of key leaders to the pre-camp leader meeting on Saturday, April 5, 2008 at 11:00 a.m. The gathering will be held at the camp in the historic Silver Marmot Grill. This is a perfect opportunity to become better acquainted with the camp and resolve any lingering questions you may have. Please contact the camp director via email to RSVP for this event. Send your responses to kmcedwards@seattlebsa.org.

This is also a great opportunity for boys who are going to summer camp with their troop but would like to go for a second week on their own. The fee is $205 for the week, but scouts who are also attending summer camp at Parsons or Pigott with their troop in 2008 receive a $15 discount on this second week.
