Having previously served on the Board of Directors for the San Francisco Bay Area Council, Boy Scouts of America for a number of years,Sorley remains extremely active in supporting the Scouts. The accolade as "Good Scout" for 2011 was bestowed on Sorley for his support of the Bay Area Boy Scouts over the years, and for his leadership in the construction industry. The award also recognizes the ongoing role that Rosendin Electric continues to play in supporting Bay Area Scouting, and the contribution the company makes to Bay Area communities.

"The future of the construction industry and the future of our country are in the hands of today's youth, which is why I am such an avid supporter of scouting," Sorley said. "Few organizations imbue the kind of values and sense of self-reliance as the Boy Scouts. I know that many of today's Scouts' will be tomorrow's electricians and construction engineers, and I am proud to support even a small part in shaping their future."
