A scan is a bitmap, not vector artwork. You'll need to edit this in
Photoshop, create vector artwork by tracing the scan in Illustrator, or
convert it to vector using a program such as Adobe Streamline. Be advised
that these are not "automagic" solutions!

Hope this helps.

You need to convert the bitmapped image to a vectorized image, either by
redrawing it by hand, or by using a utility such as Adobe Streamline.  A
bitmapped image is always seen as a monolithic object by Illustrator.

You guys are wasting your time. Someone who hasn't discovered the difference 
between a raster and a vector on their own, will never be able to teach 
themselves Illustrator or Photoshop, and certainly not Streamline's baffling 
interface.

Your post wastes my time much more effectively than the original post,
since you are neither asking a question nor providing an answer.

If it's a waste of your time, why do you ask how others feel about it?
