About Us
Welcome to the BSA Alumni Chapter of the California Inland Empire Council (CIEC). The CIEC is located in the California counties of Riverside and San Bernardino.
We are glad you are interested in this group. We are here to create a strong camaraderie among people who have directly and indirectly benefitted from the Boy Scouts of America organization.
As an association, we seek to facilitate the sharing of memories of Scouting within professions including amongst others, those with career interests in the Medical, Legal, Outdoor Management, Police, Fire, EMS, Military, Education, Business, and IT fields. We also work to help connect alumni and friends who have been in our program through Summer Camp Associations, Wood Badge, and other district and council programs.
Thank you!
Alan Kay, Ed.D.
Chair, CIEC BSA Alumni

BSA Alumni Award (for active Scouters)
There is a Scouter recognition knot that many Scouters may earn that many might not be aware of but has been around for a number of years. The award knot is called the Alumni Award. This award has not been promoted in our council, up until now. This recognition is to encourage Scouters to reach out to Scouting alumni to get them re-connected with Scouting at the local, regional, and national levels. The award recognizes registered Scouters who help unregistered alumni rejoin the program. This task breaks down into six categories of requirements:
- Memories
- Marketing
- Mentoring
- Membership
- Manpower Money
How to get the award:
Applicants must be currently registered adult Scouters of the Boy Scouts of America.

All applicants must receive the approval of their local council’s alumni committee chair and Scout executive.
