Mssrs ‘Dumb and Dumber’ do not belong in a fine organization such as the Boy Scouts of America.
All that those idiots accomplished was provide further ammunition to those on the Left that hate and want to destroy any conservative youth organizations.
Glen Wright, a Scout executive in the state, said the Scouting organization is conducting an internal investigation. Deron Smith, a national spokesman for the Boy Scouts of America, called the leaders’ behavior “reprehensible.”
Utah’s director of state parks, Fred Hayes, said he was appalled by the video and that his agency had launched a criminal investigation. Glen Wright, a Scout executive in the state, said the Scouting organization is conducting an internal investigation. Deron Smith, a national spokesman for the Boy Scouts of America, called the leaders’ behavior “reprehensible.”
“Obviously, this type of activity does not represent Scouting or what it teaches in any way,” Smith told The Times in an email.
The incident revisits the thorny issues of humans’ relationship with nature and at what point concern for human safety outweighs the integrity of the environment.
To state officials, it’s a question of desecration and vandalism. To the Boy Scouts, it’s a question of to what extent the leaders violated the almost sacrosanct principle of “leave no trace camping,” a philosophy that seeks to minimize human impact on the environment through proper waste disposal and camping practices.
As to which principles of that philosophy the leaders violated?
“Well, everything,” said Wright, the Scout executive.
The rock was unstable and would have fallen on its own in a short time.
Typical conservationist’s wet dream.
