It's a start. I think a good start. But it's ultimately doomed to either

I don't think so. Getting Eagle Scout, they can't take it away from
you, anymore than they could take away Bubba's status as a Rhodes Scholar.
They can (at least for now) disallow you from being a scout leader. I
think they just screwed that pooch, though.
