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 Programs:

Boy Scout Summer Camp

Adventure and unforgettable experiences lie ahead for Boy Scouts and leaders at week-long summer camp. Many merit badges can be completed at the archery and rifle ranges, the aquatics area, and the Craft Lodge.

Eleven Year-Old Scout Camp

Eleven Year-Old Scout Camp is designed for young men in their first year of Scouting in an LDS troop, and any other interested 11-year-old Scouts and their leaders. This camp is an exciting opportunity for fathers to spend special time with their sons. This camp is an excellent opportunity for Scouts to work on advancement, find out how camp works, and gain leadership skills. For more information or to sign-up see the Eleven Year-Old Scout Camp Brochure.

2009 Adventure Troop Summer Camp

Scouts who are unable to attend summer camp with their troop can attend camp as part of the Adventure 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 Adventure 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 $220 for the week, but scouts who are also attending summer camp at Parsons or Pigott with their troop in 2009 receive a $15 discount on this second week. For more information or to sign up, see the Adventure Troop Registration Form.
