Scout-age youth experience dramatic physical and emotional growth. Scouting offers them opportunities to channel much of that change into productive endeavors and to find the answers they are seeking for many of their questions.
Outdoor Skills
Outdoor Skills
In the outdoors, youth have opportunities to acquire skills that make them more self-reliant. They can explore canoe and hiking trails and complete challenges they first thought were beyond their ability. There is no greater teacher than the great outdoors.

Scouting programs instill in youth the values found in the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Scouting helps youth develop academic skills, self-confidence, ethics, leadership skills, and citizenship skills that influence their adult lives.
In 2001, a group of Chinese parents who cared about their children’s education accompanied their children to participate in activities with the Scouts BSA. Not only did they learn mainstream values and outdoor survival skills, but they also came to understand the hundred-year history of scouting and the benefits that scout training brings to children. As the number of second-generation Chinese Americans continued to grow, they established the Chinese American Scouting Association (CASA).
Since CASA was founded, several thousand—nearly ten thousand—Chinese American youth have participated in these Chinese American scout troops in the Bay Area. Among these troops, several hundred scouts have completed the highest rank of Eagle Scout. These children are often given priority when applying to schools or jobs because Americans know that a scout who completes and earns the rank of Eagle Scout has already gone through many challenges and training. They have learned independent outdoor survival skills, developed strong character, know how to work as part of a team, possess good communication skills, and have demonstrated outstanding performance.
Troop 606 / Pack 606 is located in Almaden Valley and is one of the scout troops that belongs to CASA. It has a history of more than 20 years. If you are also interested in joining this big family together with your child, please feel free to contact us.
2001年時，一批關心孩子教育的華裔家長，跟著孩子參加美國童軍的活動。他們不僅學到主流價值與野外生活技巧，還瞭解到童軍的百年歷史，以及童軍訓練給孩子的好處。随着華裔第二代人数日益增長, 他們成立了美華童軍協會 （CASA： Chinese American Scouting Association）
CASA成立至今，有數千、將近萬人的華裔子弟，參加過這個灣區的華裔童軍團。在這些童軍團中完成最高鷹級童軍(Eagle scout)的，也有數百人，這些孩子往後在申請學校時，或申請工作時，往往優先錄用，因為美國人知道能夠完成並獲得鷹級童軍的孩子，已經經歷過許多的磨鍊。他們學會了戶外的獨立生存技能，有完整的人格，知道如何團隊合作，有良好的溝通技巧，並且有優異的表現。
Troop 606/Pack 606 位於 Almaden Valley, 也是屬於 CASA 的童軍團之一，有15年以上的歷史。 如果您也有興趣跟孩子一起加入我們這個大家庭，歡迎與我們聯繫。
