What was his Religious Award?

To qualify for Eagle Scout you have to complete a multi-week Religious Award program. Any religion you wish. What was his? The article didn't say, of course.

Not true. And, never has been. In fact, you don't even have to belong to a specific religion to get Eagle. All you have to do is acknowledge a higher power, one based purely on the spiritual plane. Whether it manifests itself in one, many, or no incarnate Gods is immaterial. As long as you acknowledge that humans must be ruled by more than human reason and emotion alone, and that duties thereby devolve upon you that you yourself can't reason away, you qualify.

"To qualify for Eagle Scout you have to complete a multi-week Religious Award..."

That is not a reqirement for eagle. Religious awards are all voluntary. It is a requirement for all BSA ranks that you live the scout oath and law in everyday life.
