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 beginning January 1, 2022. The training is available online and takes about 2 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.
2. UPLOAD COMPLETED TRAINING
Once you have finished the training, upload your state Mandated Reporter Training Certificate to the Pacific Skyline Council page on the
California Scouting portal.
3. LIVE SCAN FINGER PRINTING & BACKGROUND CHECK (coming soon)
The 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 get fingerprinted. Please do not schedule your Live Scan until we announce that we are ready to receive them, as any scans done before we have authorization will be invalid and need to be done again. NOTE: Each organization requires their own Live Scan, so you will still need to complete this step even if you have been fingerprinted for another organization.
Once this step is available, you will only need to complete your Live Scan once for the Council. You can find many
Live Scan locations throughout the state.
In addition to completing the Live Scan form, you will also need to review and sign a consent form. By signing the consent form, you will allow the Council to receive your criminal history record from state and federal agencies. Additionally, you will allow the Council to share your criminal history with a designated individual of BSA national. If you have any questions after reviewing the consent form, please contact our registrar at
[email protected].
Thank you for your commitment to protecting our youth. Together, we are providing a safe Scouting program for thousands of youth across California.
Yours in Scouting,
The Pacific Skyline Council Team
