[edit] Award revocation

There is no mention of how one might lose the honor of Eagle Scout. The top of the article mentions the quote "Once an Eagle, always an Eagle", but the distinction can be revoked if an Eagle Scout is convicted of a felony. Has anyone found good source material to write a section on award revocation? Unicycle77 (talk) 23:26, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

"A Scout badge is a recognition of what a boy is able to do, not a reward for what he has done"— * (1977) Advancement Guidelines. Boy Scouts of America.  (this is the copy I happened to have at hand). I'm not aware that there is a process for any award to be revoked. "Once an Eagle, always an Eagle" really refers to any number of Eagle Scouts who might state "I was an Eagle"; this is incorrect, as they would always be an Eagle Scout, or Life, Star or any of the others. --—— Gadget850 (Ed) ^talk - 23:52, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

I've not heard of this, losing your Eagle for a felony. Do you have a sound reference for this? — Rlevse • Talk • 00:50, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
