George,
If the boys completed the requirements and received the Arrow of Light
Award, they have "earned" it as far as a troop should be concerned.
What I would do is write a letter to "file" explaining the situation and
include it with each Scout's Eagle Application when his application and
supporting documentation are presented to the council.
The DE and Unit Commissioner of the pack should be notified about the
problem so that steps can be taken to make sure it doesn't take place
again.
YiS,
