This Scout declared to his Eagle Board of Review that he was an atheist. Now, I'm betting that earlier in his Scouting career he did believe, and then lost his faith as he got older, which is what it seems to me that you are proposing. But in any case he should never have been awarded his Eagle after making such a declaration.

Therein lies the rub. It's apparent that no one on the board understands the importants of the Scout Law and Oath ...even more so actually read it. You CAN NOT be a Boy Scout of America without believing in God. If you loose your faith you should quit. Its that simple. The Law does not say "You can be a Scout and just obey some of the rules"
