WTF - watch the video, these guys are not wearing “Boy Scout” uniforms; there are no kids anywhere in the pictures; and where do they see Church campers.

What we have is a video of some buffoons stupid enough to video themselves vandalizing a state park.
We also have a “reporter” who viewed the video and took the opportunity to tarnish upstanding organization because said buffoons were members at sometime. This is NOT reporting, its vindictive liberals trashing the Backbone of America. If these guys were Scout Leaders in there teens, then left the Scouts and joined a Liberal organization like ACORN for the last 10 years; the printed story would not change.

They weren't leaders 'at sometime'. They were current leaders of Troop 852, Highland, Utah, Utah National Parks Council. They were on an outing with eight Scouts.

As for the uniform, the BSA Field Uniform ("Class A"- a term that's commonly used but isn't recognized by the BSA) isn't worn for all activities. Scouts are allowed to wear an activity uniform ("Class B") for active wear, which is generally any BSA t-shirt or plain t-shirt, and any BSA hat - but Troops set their own standards.

What these leaders did not only violates federal law, but breaches everything the Boy Scouts teach about Outdoor Ethics and Leave No Trace.
