Off Season Winter Use of Camp - Hahobas Beach Cabin

Camp Hahobas had almost continual use in the offseason by individual units, Council activities and District events.

The beach property is now owned by the Great Peninsula Conservancy, and the beach cabin was demolished in 2021.

One of the key areas we used at camp was the Hood Canal beachfront, where the Hahobas Beach Cabin was located. At low tides of +1 ft and lower, oysters and clams are routinely accessible.

Camp Hahobas was open year-round, for Troop campouts, camporees or private group events. The beach cabin was avaliable for rental as well.

Operation Bear Claw - 2011 Council Camporee

Operation Bear Claw Camporee was a Mission Impossible, spy-themed event, with Scouts dressing up as black ops soldiers, and adopting military themes for their patrols.

500 Scouts and adults attended this event.
