As a dad I'm just getting started with Scouts - my son recently turned 11, but I was an active Boy Scout growing up. It is a very sad situation, but this could be a very valuable lesson to the young man. Three words "On my honor..." are all that is needed. This young man damaged his honor with his actions, and while he may not have a criminal record now, the scar of losing something that he has worked very hard for could be a reminder of just how important honor is to a man. If it was my son, I would concur with the decision. Best of luck.
