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.

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.
