Heard about this, amazed me the Scouts were involved. Not sure if I buy that the rock formation looked "loose", it was there for millions of years.

Mark Trail has been around for decades, you've got all your hunting magazines, ducks unlimited. Sure doesn't break down to simple "nature worship".

We’re just talking about some loose rocks here, right?
Not in the goo-goos’ heads, rocks just lying around?
Is this really a `O the Huge manatee’ moment? Rocks.

Not safe? Maybe. However, it wasn’t his decision to make.

Did the Scouts lose God’s blessing when they caved to gay bullies?

hen they said they noticed the top of the rock formation was loose and feared it was dangerous.

I'd like to know which university these guys got their degrees in geology from.

I still have less than a year before my resignation from BSA goes into effect and I’ll admit, I am a bit conflicted about this. I’m pissed that these morons vandalized a natural formation, but kinda glad to see the BSA get a bit of a black eye.

Leave no trace...these “leaders” (used loosely based on their childish antics in the video) should have just left the area and reported the “loose” rock to the Park Ranger.

I just don’t believe the so called excuse, these clowns were acting like a bunch of frat boys.

These fat a-holes were Scout leaders? Hell yes they need charges pressed. What a despicable example they set. Fools and morons are everywhere these days.

These guys will plead out to some lower charge that includes a stiff fine and community service with ten years probation and a suspended sentence of 18 months, I predict. They won’t be made felons.

Also, their jackass troop of yahoo scouts is finished. BSA will see to that. Goobers like these have been a problem in Scouting for a very long time. I don’t know how strong councils are anymore, but back in my day they’d force disassociation from all members involved.

My opinion is that BSA went irrecoverably downhill in the 1970s, but that’s beside the point.

Yeah, pushing the rock formation over was dangerous. The should not have done that. Someone could have been hurt in the unpredictable collapse.

They should have used explosives. Dynamite Merit Badges for all involved.

Wouldn’t go overboard, but if one’s religion is worshiping God Almighty, we are stewards of His Creation. Within Reason.

We should expect reckless, idiotic, immoral behavior to be the new norm in the Rainbow Scouts.

After watching the video, these guys appear to come from the "Hold muh beer" school of Boy Scout leadership.

Robert Baden-Powell would not never have sanctioned the employment of such men.

If these bloated morons were really concerned about avoiding dangerous situations, they would quit the scouts and stay at home swilling lite beer, something they’ve obviously done quite a lot of.

Great example they set for the scouts.
