CHCP was deeply involved in this year's Scout-O-Rama at San Jose's History Park. Our Chinese American Historical Museum was open by special request of the local affiliates of CASA (Chinese American Scouting Association). The event was very well attended, and 240 visitors toured our museum. In the courtyard outside the museum was the Eagle Scout Project of Carter Chang, local Troop 468. His project was a new stand for the CHCP's Traveling Exhibit, "Pioneering the Valley: The Legacy of Chinese Americans in Santa Clara Valley." With this strong new stand, we dared to set up the exhibit outdoors and made it available to thousands of Scout-O-Rama participants.

In photos, we see Carter Chang with his father Jerry Chang standing by the Traveling Exhibit. Also pictured with the exhibit are Bobby Toda of CASA leadership and Chris Jochim, VP of Education for CHCP and other CASA scouting leaders. CHCP is immensely happy with the partnership being established between CASA and CHCP.
