Can Eagle be taken away?

[BrentAllen]

Well, there is the Eagle Promise, which hopefully means something. I must admit my impression of Eagles has been diminished somewhat based on what I have read on these pages and seen firsthand.

 

Eagle Promise

I reaffirm my allegiance

To the three promises of the Scout Oath.

I thoughtfully recognize

And take upon myself

The obligations and responsibilities

Of an Eagle Scout.

On my honor I will do my best

To make my training and example,

My rank and my influence

Count strongly for better Scouting

And for better citizenship

In my troop,

In my community,

And in my contacts with other people.

To this I pledge my sacred honor.

Hmmmm - I'm an Eagle Scout and have never seen or heard of this Eagle Promise!

I also can not see National BSA pulling someones Eagle rank because they most likely don't know who is or isn't an Eagle Scout. After a couple of years most people I know have forgotten that I even earned Eagle because we have all gone on with our lives. If I was charged and found guilt of a crime none of my neighbors would even care or know that I was an Eagle.

So I think this is just a myth,
