Dear San Diego–Imperial Council Scouting Family,
The state of California adopted additional youth safety requirements in the form of California Law AB 506 (“AB
506”) and it takes effect January 1, 2022. Please know that AB506 requirements apply to ALL youth service
organizations throughout the State – not just Scouting. Also, it is separate from and in addition to BSA Youth
Protection Training and thus further supports our mission to protect youth in our program.
Scout Councils in California worked together to create the California Scouting web portal
(www.CaliforniaScouting.org). This is your point of reference to help answer AB 506 questions and to connect
you with the resources needed to comply with the law. As additional information becomes available the website
will be updated.
The law requires employees, administrators, and volunteers of youth service organizations to complete the
state of CA training and undergo Live Scans. All registered BSA volunteer positions, administrators and
employees including camp staff must comply with AB 506. In addition, regular volunteers, as defined by AB 506
(see FAQ page.) must comply.
Below is the 3-step process required to be in compliance with AB 506. All volunteers must complete steps 1
and 2 ASAP.
1. REQUIRED STATE MANDATED REPORTER TRAINING
All Registered Adult Volunteers and Regular Volunteer positions identified as requiring training shall complete
the California Mandated Reporter Training: Volunteers. The training is available online and takes about two
hours to complete. (Council Board Members and Camping Staff/Council Employees will need to complete the 4-
hour general training course.)
NOTE: This training is in addition to BSA Youth Protection Training. Furthermore, this training satisfies
requirements you may have because of your involvement in other activities/employment and if you do take it
for another situation, you do not have to complete it again. **updated 1/10/2022, The training is good for two
years.
2. UPLOAD COMPLETED TRAINING
Once you have finished the training, upload your state Mandated Reporter Training Certificate to the San Diego
– Imperial Council page on the California Scouting portal. https://californiascouting.org/sdic/
3. LIVE SCAN FINGERPRINTING BACKGROUND CHECK (coming soon)
San Diego-Imperial Council has submitted its request for authorization to the California Department of Justice
to receive state and federal criminal offender record information (CORI). Once we have received authorization,
we will update the website and share our Live Scan Request Form that will allow you to proceed with the
required fingerprinting. NOTE: Each organization you may be involved with require their own live scan, so you
will need to complete this step even if you have been fingerprinted for another youth organization.
IMPORTANT: Do not schedule your Live Scan until it is announced that we are ready to receive them, as any
scans completed before we have authorization will need to be repeated. We are working with local vendors to
schedule fingerprinting at our office to make the process quick and convenient.
Thank you for your time and dedication to Scouting in our community.
San Diego-Imperial Council, BSA

JOHN LEE
AWARD OF MERIT RECIPIENT
Rancho San Luis Rey Zone
Class of 2021
John Lee was both a Cub Scout and a Boy Scout as a youth, but the Rancho San Luis
Rey Zone is fortunate that he has found his way back to the program as an adult!
With the sudden need to turn our programs to a virtual format, John was one of the
key facilitators that stepped forward to make it all happen. Early in 2020 as the zone’s
Camp Wingit virtual weekend campout began to take shape, John assisted with
getting leaders and merit badge counselors trained with Zoom, helped out with
program production and instruction, and made it possible for the zone to provide a
weekend program for over 600 scouts and family members. That led to Camp
Impossible, a virtual week-long summer camp program!
John is the scoutmaster for Troop 777 and is currently serving as the zone’s Training
Chair. He also serves as a merit badge counselor and an Eagle Board of Review
member. Most importantly, he’s fresh out of Wood Badge training and looking
forward to working his ticket!
John is a graduate of MIT and his first job was as a Systems Engineer for the Space
Shuttle! He and his wife Annie have 2 children; Tessa is in her Senior year at UCLA
and Carter is a Life Scout. Congratulations. John!

AIMEE SANDOVAL
AWARD OF MERIT RECIPIENT
Coastal Sage Zone
Class of 2021
Aimee Sandoval has made a career out of putting time and energy into supporting
her beliefs. While many of us know of Aimee from her recent rise to fame as a Zoom
star at council roundtables, she has been a community powerhouse for quite some
time. She has been an active volunteer for the PTA, Rady Children’s Hospital, and
Ronald McDonald House. Aimee has also volunteered with Feeding San Diego, the
Santee Food Bank, and was a driving force in bringing girls into Scouts BSA.
In Boy Scouting, Aimee supported Pack 625 as an Assistant Den Leader, Den Leader,
and Pack Advancement Chair. She is currently an Assistant Scoutmaster with Troop
975 and the Scoutmaster of Troop 984. She represents her zone on the council’s
special needs committee and also serves as a merit badge counselor. With husband
Eric, she chairs the Activities and Civic Service committee for the council’s program
team, and is an Assistant Council Commissioner for our monthly Roundtables.
Aimee is a proud member of both the Wood Badge class of 2019 and the Naabaahii
Chapter of the Order of the Arrow Tiwahe Lodge. Way to go, Aimee!

DEBBIE SYLVESTER
AWARD OF MERIT RECIPIENT
Rancho San Luis Rey Zone
Class of 2021
Debbie Sylvester has spent most of her 15 years in Scouting supporting the units at
St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church. In Cub Scouts she served as both a Den
Leader and as Committee Chair for Pack 776. She was also a religious emblem
facilitator for the Light of Christ and Parvuli Dei programs.
In Scouts BSA she has served Troop 776 as a Committee Member and as the
Committee Chair for 8 years. She is currently the Chartered Org Rep and has assisted
the youth with their Ad Altare Dei and Pope Pius XII emblems.
With the creation of the Rancho San Luis Rey zone, Debbie stepped forward to take
on the duties of the Zone Advancement Chair and Eagle Board of Review
Coordinator, assisting with the development of COVID-19 procedures locally to assist
Eagle candidates navigating through new territory. Debbie and her team of Zoom
Eagle Board members led 77 Scouts through the process in 2021!
Debbie grew up in San Diego and earned both her Bachelors and Masters degrees at
San Diego State University. She has been married to husband Bob for 29 years. They
have 2 Eagle Scout sons, Anthony and Nicholas. Kudos, Debbie!

Foothills Zone held a Webelos Woods in December
and had over 200 in attendance from local packs
and troops! Congrats to Larry Ashbacher, the new
Foothills Zone Program Chair, who with his Webelos
Woods Committee organized this highly successful
event.
Senior Scouts took advantage of the opportunity to
conduct training events with the assistance of adult
volunteers. The weekend also featured a BB rifle
event at the awesome Mataguay range, all
supervised by an NRA certified rangemaster.
The interfaith service on Sunday was presented by
Aimee Sandoval with the assistance of two volunteer
Chaplain Aides.
The cool nights and warm weekend days, along with
a pent up yearning for an outdoor scouting event
combined for a lot of scout fun and learning.
A high percentage of the Webelos attendees
expressed interest in continuing in Scouting! Many of
the Webelos will be "crossing over' into troops this

NATIONAL
WREATHS ACROSS AMERICA DAY
YOUR LOGO
National Wreaths Across America Day
The mission of National Wreaths Across
America Day is to remember our fallen US
veterans, honor those who serve and teach
children the value of freedom. On
December 18, 2021, Sea Scout Ship 1886
participated for the 5th year by helping to
place wreaths at Miramar National
Cemetery. Once again, they were joined by
Scouts BSA Troop 319 and the La Jolla
Chapter Daughters of the American
Revolution. Erik Johnson represented Ship
1886 by placing the Merchant Marine
wreath during the military ceremony
where all military service organizations
were remembered. Besides the military
ceremony, scouts participated by assisting
with wreath distribution and wreath
placement. It was truly an honor for the
Scouts to be of service for this important
event.

Scouts are already doing great things
in their community. Through good
turns and community service, scouts
are making the world a better place
and spreading a culture of peace. The
Messengers of Peace program aims to
highlight this work by supporting
Scouts’ community service and
encouraging Scouts to share their
actions with others to help build a
global network of service. If a scout
does a service action and shares it
with others, they can earn a
Messengers of Peace badge. The main
goal is to inspire Scouts to continue
their community service or to join
efforts with other scouts from around
the globe.

While the council no longer requires the

SCOUT ING 3 60 | PAGE 3 5 | J ANUARY 2 022HIGHLIGHTING SDIC SCOUTING FROM THE LOCAL NEWS
Ship 1886 hosted the Elroy Cup on November 7, 2021, in the shallows off the southwest end of Shelter Island. The
Elroy Cup is a qualifying event for the 2022 William I Koch International Sea Scout Cup scheduled for July in Galveston,
Texas.
Sunday was a sunny San Diego day on the water beginning around 1100, when the first starting sequence began. The
course was a windward – leeward, with the marks about 200 yards apart, and the start/finish line approximately in the
middle. We raced 8 races, racers ate lunch in their boats with the series ending at 1430.
Along with racing, it was my privilege to chair this year’s event under the coaching of the Adult Elroy Cup Chair Mr.
Robert Curry and Skipper Ms. Lynn Kramer.
Ship 1886's Pierce Curry and RJ Hansing took first place. The second place winners are Jacob Wilson, and me, Erik
Johnson also of Ship 1886. 1886’s Gabe Ponce was given the sportmanship Award, and he and Zander Kobold took
third place. Mr. Curry’s tradition of grilling a steak dinner for guests at the awards dinner in the pool pavilion was a
fantastic and delicious way to wrap up our memorable day of racing.
The Elroy Cup was first held at SDYC in 2017 and named after Jim Elroy who was a principal organizer of the Koch Cup,
and the chairman of the regatta until he stepped down following the 2016 competition. Mr. Elroy has graciously
offered to cover the registration fees or the first place winners of the Elroy Cup to compete in the Koch Cup.
Special thanks to: the San Diego Yacht Club; Erik Hallback, SDYC Junior Program Director; Jeff Johnson, SDYC Regatta
Manager; Jared Wohlgemuth, SDYC Regatta Admin / Webmaster / IT; Keith Ericson; Pete Evering; “Rags” Laragione; Rob
Schramm, and volunteers of Ship 1886 all for generously giving of their time, talent, and treasure.
In addition to the Elroy Cup, I have had a blast with Sea Scouts since joining in June. Including sailing to Catalina over
the summer on a 38’ racing boat, so I invite and encourage teens to participate in Sea Scouts.
