CASA is the home for Chinese American scouting communities where friends and families can learn, grow, have fun, share resources, and provide volunteer services to local communities.
CASA Vision Statement for the new decade:

Prepared. For Life.™
Have Fun, Share Resources, Connect Together!
Why CASA?
CASA provides quality scouting programs for the Chinese youth in our community and gives the relatively shy Chinese youth a better chance of practicing leadership skills.
參加童軍 受用一生
童軍活動鼓勵孩子奉獻、服務，以及在身體、心理上磨鍊自己，對自然環境，對國家，對社區，對人有服務貢獻之心，同時童軍要學會如何與成人應對，鼓 勵童軍和成人互動，勇敢表達自己；諸如此類很多。在童軍守則中，每條守則都可以讓童軍終身受益。童軍有句話「寓教於樂」，就是在遊樂中學會許多有價值的事。
美國童軍另外有個特別的地方，就是讓孩子自主決定要做的活動，不是成人來籌劃。不管是露營、登山、滑雪、騎馬、射擊、滑船等活動，都由童軍自己開會決定，學會負責任，這和其它的唱歌、跳舞等活動有很大的不同；而童軍在參與這些活動中，學會了團隊合作、及互相尊敬等技巧。成人的責任只是保持童軍的安全。
