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 Hascall Parsons in 1918. Thousands of Boy Scouts come to Camp Parsons every summer. The camp also runs a High Adventure program in which Scouts spend a week hiking in the Olympic Mountains and have the opportunity to enter the Order of the Silver Marmot, an honor unique to this camp.

CampParsons is situated in America's Pacific Northwest - in the State of Washington.
CampParsons is found in a truly remarkable setting "where the mountains meet the sea."
It's not a man-made canal, but a long, fjord of salt water that originates in the Pacific Ocean, so the breeze at CampParsons is always filled with the tang of salty air.
