Scouting and Guiding in Washington: Difference between revisions

Founded in [[1919]], '''Camp Parsons''' is the oldest Boy Scout camp west of the Mississippi River and the third oldest continually running Boy Scout camp in the United States on its original location.  It sits on Jackson Cove, part of the Hood Canal, on the Olympic Peninsula, just north of [[Brinnon, Washington]], and just south of Quilcene, Washington.  The original land for the camp was donated by Reginald Parsons in [[1918]].  Thousands of Boy Scouts come to Camp Parsons every summer.  In addition to its normal week-long resident camping program, the camp runs a [[high adventure]] program in which Scouts spend a week hiking in the Olympic Mountains.
