Scouts BSA Summer Camp at Camp Parsons

Join us for a summer of adventure and unforgettable experiences lie ahead for Scouts and leaders at week-long summer camp along the Hood Canal at Camp Parsons.

The dynamics of an open saltwater base offer Scouts a completely different experience of water sports and aquatics activities. The canal offers beach area throughout the camp with a host of tidepools offering great beach combing. 

Complete merit badges at the archery and rifle ranges, learn to ride with the ATV program, enjoy the saltwater aquatics area, and craft lodge. Camp Parsons celebrates excellence being the country’s oldest continuous running Scouts BSA camp West of the Mississippi!
