A 17 year-old scout recently got in trouble for hacking into his school's computer system and ended up getting arrested and charged with felonies. Shortly after this broke the news, he received a letter from National informing him that he was kicked out of the troop and banned from the BSA, without consulting the troop or the family. However, the news never revealed that he was involved with scouting, the kid has never been in any trouble before, the charges will most likely be dropped, and the incident had nothing to do with the BSA. How could this have happened? Who would have authorized an order like this? What are the official policies/procedures for this kind of situation?
