SDIC MANDATORY COMPLIANCE
By Dan Mazzella
SDIC Vice President Scout Safety / Youth Protection
----------------------------------------------------------------
California Assembly Bill 506 became effective January 1, 2022.
Pursuant to AB 506, an administrator, employee, or regular volunteer of a youth service
organization SHALL complete training in child abuse and neglect
identification............Additionally, an administrator, employee, or regular volunteer of a youth
service organization SHALL undergo a background check pursuant to Penal Code
11105.3
AB 506 defines a Regular Volunteer as anyone 18 years of age or older, and has Direct
Contact with, or supervision of children for more than 16 hours per month, or 32 hours
per year.
AB 506 is now the law
At the BSA National Annual Meeting last year Rex Tillerson, past President of BSA, and past
Secretary of State said ‘SCOUT SAFETY IS OUR LICENSE TO OPERATE’.
In order for us to earn our LICENSE TO OPERATE we must deliver a safe environment for our
youth.
In order to deliver that safe environment our volunteers must Be Prepared. The AB 506
training is the path to Be Prepared.
Our Scouts always recite the Scout Oath saying I PROMISE TO DO MY BEST TO DO MY
DUTY........... As a volunteer you need to do your best and do your duty to comply with AB506.
Our Scouts always recite the Scout Law saying A SCOUT IS TRUSTWORTHY, LOYAL,
OBEDIENT....... As a volunteer you will earn Council trust by complying with AB506. You will
demonstrate your loyalty to Scouting by complying with AB 506. Ignoring this law is contrary
to the Scout Law.
You can sign up to take your training at https://californiascouting.org/training/
The website also offers additional resources regarding AB 506, including how to upload
your training certificate upon completion.

Keeping Up With Council
It is Springtime and here we GROW again. There are great things happening right now all
throughout our council.
A big congratulations to our units and the commissioner corps that supports them. The San
Diego–Imperial Council had the highest rate of unit recharter in our National Service
Territory. Alone, that would be cause for celebration, but we did it without having any
District Executives assigned to units. Everyone knew what needed to be done…and then did
it.
We are poised for even more growth in our Scouts BSA troops for girls. We have FIVE new
troops scheduled to start in the next two months and more in the works for later this year.
More and more of our troops for boys are hearing the demand from sisters, friends and
others and they are responding.
Can you hear it? An Exploring Explosion is happening. Exploring is the vocational training
side of our program and it was perhaps the most dramatically affected by COVID closures.
Law enforcement, fire & medical, aviation posts and more have reopened and even new
ones are forming. We have NINE posts preparing to start.
Perhaps one of the most unexpected, but wonderful things happening is the strengthening
of the relationships between units and their chartering organizations. Our recent challenges
have made many of the organizations seriously question their partnership with Scouting.
The answer is repeatedly coming back, “WE ARE IN.” They reaffirmed to themselves the
benefits of Scouting as a part of their programs and are engaging with new vigor. Many
organizations who had packs close during COVID are expressing the desire to restart the
units.
It is a great time to be in Scouting and the Imperial and San Diego Counties are a great place
to do it.
Yours in Scouting,
Karl Shelton

Sister Troops 500 (boys) and 555 (girls) from Point Loma celebrated the reopening of the awesome
Mataguay Scout Ranch COPE course with a joint campout. The Scouts got to work on team-building
on the Low COPE course, conquered their fears on the High COPE course and experienced the thrill of
nighttime ziplining.

Pack 280 recently spent a few hours at Misty Mountain Ranch outside Poway to learn about baby
goats! They recently had a new litter born so all the Scouts got to hold their own goat, milk a mama
goat by hand, taste some items made from goats' milk (i.e., milk, cheese) and see a future baby goat
via a sonogram. An excellent learning opportunity for both youth and adults!!

Identify your Unit Popcorn Kernel(s) NOW so they are ready to start receiving
information when registration opens.
Get your parents and youth excited about selling!!
Start planning your selling dates on the calendar now to avoid conflicts.
Start discussing with parents and the committee how you want to run your popcorn
program. Do you want inventory?? Do you want to do direct selling online?? or
hybrid?? San Diego was 35th in the nation in 2021 with their Direct Online Sales!!

decided to collaborate with

first activity. This activity
involved Jenga but with trivia
by Colin B. and Zander K., Sea Scout Ship 1886 questions marked on the
underside of each block.
The next activity was called
wooden blocks and two lines.
Our objective was to get
everyone in our group to the
other side of the lines without
touching anything. This was
difficult with two people on one
block! Thankfully, we could
complete it without anyone
falling off the blocks.
Another activity we participated
in involved two long wooden
beams with lots of ropes on each
one. This time, we were to walk
on the beams like they were two
long feet to a marker, turn
around, and go back. This
Long Beach Invitational Regatta challenge was probably the
hardest because coordination
was tricky to get down. These
activities, especially the more
difficult ones, are an
entertaining way to get to know
each other while also laughing at
the fact that you just fell off of
one of the beams and nearly
flipped everyone over.
There were several other events
that were twists on Sea Scout
stuff, like a monkey's fist

without paddles! At the end of
the day we may not have won,
but the experience will last a
lifetime.

SCOUTING EVERYDAY ACTIVITIES:
Everyday activities are low-pressure pack or troop
events where units invite non-Scouting families to join
them for an afternoon or evening of fun.
An everyday activity might be a hike, a picnic, an ice
cream party, a service project, a trip to a local sporting
event or anything else you can dream up.
At these activities, Scouts and adult volunteers should
dress in normal “street” clothes instead of uniforms — a
tactic that will help visitors feel more included.

i GAMES OF ROME
Greetings from the San Diego-Imperial Council International Relations Committee!
We are immensely proud of the resilience, flexibility, and professionalism of Scout leaders, like you,
who have stayed focused on delivering the program and the promise of Scouting for our Scouts and
fellow leaders during this complicated time. In addition to the unit and zone level programming that
you provide, the International Relations Committee is working harder than ever to provide unique
experiences to local youth starting with the 2022 International Camporee.
For the first time in over 3 years, Mataguay Scout Ranch will be host to a major event, as we combine
forces and efforts with our brothers and sisters across our nation’s borders. It is with an immense
pleasure that we announce the 2022 International Camporee scheduled for September 16th to 18th
2022!
None of this could happen without the help of magnificent volunteers who always make
International Camporee a reality. We are extending an invitation to you to participate in this fun and
ambitious event, either as part of the organizing committee, the STAFF that will help during the event
or both!
This year’s event is set in ancient Rome… legions, barbarians, and gladiators will be the bread and
butter of the 2022 GAMES OF ROME. As you might know, this event was originally scheduled for
2020 before global lockdowns changed our plans. As a result, planning had already taken place and
this event is basically “in a box” waiting for a passionate Roman Emperor and their Senators to open
the box and make it happen.
If you are looking to have the time of your life along with a bunch of other Scouters from around the
world as they lead their Roman Legions and Barbarian hordes, send me an email and we will get you
in the loop!!! We guarantee you an awesome experience filled with Scouting Brotherhood, fun, and
great memories!
If you aren’t able to help on the committee or staff, maybe you would like to attend with your
Scouting unit. This event is for Scout troops and Venturing crews (11 to 18 years old, over 18 can
participate as Staff).

Boy Scouts of America Troop 51 is celebrating its 75th anniversary of Scouting at St. Martin of
Tours Catholic Church. Troop 51 was originally chartered in La Mesa, California in 1921 and
has been continuously chartered at St. Martins of Tours Catholic Church since April 2, 1947. In
2020, we added a girl’s troop to allow Scouting opportunities for boys and girls ages 11 through
17 years of age.
“Scouting provides a values-based program focused on preparing young people to make moral
and ethical choices over their lifetime. St. Martin of Tours Troop 51 in La Mesa, CA will
continue to support our youth and build our future!” MM Kissel – Charter Organization
Representative.
The troop will celebrate its anniversary with a mass and dinner party on April 23rd at St Martin
of Tours. For more information, please contact us at: troop51anniversary@gmail.com
Troop 51 is a youth led troop that subscribes to the guidelines of the Boy Scouts of America
and Quality Unit. We have an active schedule that includes at least one overnight outdoor
activity each month. Outings include activities such as: Camping, Hiking, Back Packing, Rock
Climbing, Fishing, Kayaking, Rafting, Biking, Horseback Riding, Sailing, Sporting Events and
Skiing.
For more information about Troop 51 click here. Troop 51 meets Tuesday nights at 6:30 pm in
the Parish Hall at St. Martins Catholic Church, La Mesa, CA. Visitors are always welcome.

S C OUT I NG 3 6 0 | P A GE 4 0 | A P R I L 2 0 2 2The San Diego–Imperial Council is pleased to share with you that we are ready to roll
out phase two of California Assembly Bill 506 compliance. We have selected to
partner with Biometrics4All to provide Livescan services.
Phase one is the Volunteer Mandated Reporter Training. Phase two is the
LiveScan Background check. You can register for your background check at
www.ApplicantServices.com/SDIC . There is a fee of $41.00 for this service, which
you will be asked to pay during registration.
Unfortunately this is something that our state government has imposed upon all
youth organizations without consideration for the economic burden. Our council
does not have the resources to pay for approximately 4,000 registered volunteers.
We recognize that this is a burden on many, but it is small in comparison to the value
of keeping youth safe.
For more information on AB506, please visit https://californiascouting.org/ or
review our earlier message in the January Scouting 360 on the subject which can
be found on our website.
Please direct any questions to your unit commissioner or our Deputy Scout
Executive, Karl Shelton. Karl.shelton@scouting.org
