Kudos to you, Bill. I don't think that his religious views should stop him from receiving the Eagle Scout honor, especially since he was previously advanced while his views were clearly known.
There was a national news story a few years back, which was basically the same issue (my apologies, I have no idea how it turned out). A woman that I worked with & her fiance were involved with the scouts, and she was adamant that he should not be allowed to make Eagle Scout. Her view was since he took the oath, he was worn to it. I said BS, his accomplishments as a acout shouldn't be tied to God or religious beliefs.
