Each of the 425 Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts, Venture Crew Members, parents and adult leaders received a special Retreat XVIII patch featuring the theme "Truth" and the Patron Saint Dominic.

The annual CCSALA Scouter recognition dinner was held at St. Maximillian Kolby parish in Thousand Oaks on March 8, 2008. Fr. Jim Maher and Dennis Swink presented 7 Bronze Pelican Emblems, 13 St. George Emblems, 2 Msgr. James E. Dolan Awards, and a number of special service citations by the Chairman of the CCSALA committee. John Lorentz, who could not attend the dinner this year, received his Msgr. James E. Dolan Award from Jim Shivers and Dennis Swink at his home, shortly before the dinner began.
