Camp Parsons

Chief Seattle Council is seeking Scouting volunteers to help us connect more youth to the Scouting during the Washington State Fair Sept 4th - 27th. In particular, we are needing certified BB gun rangemasters or NRA rifle instructors to supervise BB gun ranges that will be part of our activity at the fair.
Select a shift time to share your enthusiasm for Scouting and in turn we'll cover your entry and parking for the day for you and your family. Find out more and sign up at https://bit.ly/CSCfairtime for one or multiple days.

At camp, Scouts do more than learn skills — they build character, serve others, and discover what they're capable of. Through adventure, teamwork, and the challenges of the outdoors, Camp Parsons helps Scouts grow in citizenship, fitness, and leadership while creating memories that last a lifetime. 🌲⚜️
