Summer Camp with Troop 570

Boy Scouting is designed to take place outdoors. It is in the outdoor setting that Scouts share responsibilities, and learn to live with one another. The skills and activities practiced at troop meetings come alive with purpose. Being close to nature helps Boy Scouts gain an appreciation for the beauty of the world around us.

Summer Camp is one of the single-most important events that a Boy Scout can attend. It can be one of the great experiences in the life of a Scout. Each program, merit badge, and evening campfire will linger in memory for years to come. Scouts will have the opportunity to put their outdoor skills to the test, to work with one another and to make life long friends. There is much to experience, to learn, and to enjoy on a summer camp adventure.

Troop 570 attends summer camp every year. We typically will go to a camp in the Chief Seattle Council one summer then out of council the next.

Summer Camp 2012 at Camp Parsons (Chief Seattle Council)

July 29 - August 4, 2012

Troop 570 is attending Camp Parsons during the week of July 29th through August 4th. All new scouts are strongly encouraged to attend!

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.

Campsites feature either canvas tents with platforms or Adirondack shelters with bunks, as well as showers and flush toilets. For further detailed information about Camp Parsons programs and history, go to the camp's website HERE.
