Camp Parsons Boy Scout Camp has a new dining hall.

The camp was founded in 1919 on Hood Canal near Brinnon in Jefferson County. The original dining hall was built in 1937, with about 4,600 square feet and seating for 350 people.

The new hall is 14,500 square feet and seats 576. Construction cost about $4.4 million, and was completed in nine months.

The hall has a full commercial kitchen, which serves more than 8,400 meals to 3,300 scouts and adults who attend Camp Parsons during the eight-week summer camp season.

It is heated, and can be rented to groups for outdoor education programs during the off-season.
