Camping
What is Scouting without camping, and Pack 301 does do its share of camping. Here are some of the camps we most often visit:
Camp Brinkley is situated at the foothills of the Cascade mountain range approximately one hour from Seattle. As the Chief Seattle Council's Cub Scout resident camp, it has offered many fun activities to youth for more than four decades. Camp features include a waterfront, BB gun and archery ranges, play fields, nature trails and a fantastic craft lodge.
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. Camp Pigott is located at the foothills of the Cascade Mountain range. Highlights include a large lake, a climbing tower, campsites with flush restrooms and individual private showers, COPE courses (high and low), a spacious dining facility, and all new: shooting sports facilities, mountain boarding area and MUCH more.
Camp Sheppard is located in the renowned Cascade Mountains, just minutes from Mount Rainier National Park and Crystal Mountain ski area. Cliffs tower overhead, pristine falls can be found nearby, and giant elk freely roam the meadows. Visitors may enjoy hiking, cross country skiing, inner tubing or games in the cozy lodge.
