Camping - Chief Seattle Council


			Camp Parsons

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 Leader's Guide

2010 Provisional Troop Summer Camp

Scouts who are unable to attend summer camp with their troop can attend camp as part of the Provisional Troop at either Camp Pigott or Camp Parsons. Scouts sign up individually for this program and are grouped together with other single scouts to form that week’s “Adventure Troop”. Adult camp staff members are assigned to act as the adult leaders for the Provisional Troop. 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 $230 for the week, but scouts who are also attending summer camp at Parsons or Pigott with their troop in 2010 receive a $15 discount on this second week. For more information or to sign up, see the 2010 Boy Scout Provisional Troop Reservation Form.
