Boy Scout Leaders damage Goblin Valley, Utah

Words failed me when I saw this video on NBC national news today. Boy Scout and Mormon Church "youth leaders" having fun rearranging the rock formations for their own enjoyment in Utah's wonderful Goblin Valley State Park.
And they posted it on Facebook

Just glad we camped there in 2011 before they showed up.

    I saw this earlier today and it made me sick to my stomach. I bet they will be greeted with a hefty fine since the vid went viral.

    Cocky Idiots who are trying to cover up what they did. Disgraceful and hopefully they will be ousted by the Boy Scouts who have a motto of "leave no trace" Maybe these two idiots are unable to read the manual.

    They are Idiots, but I will be surprised if any punishment is netted out. This will be interesting to follow.

    Poor poor leadership and a total lack of honesty and integrity.

    What's really sad is that they are supposed to be leader of our young children. A little jail time would do them some good as well as being kicked out of the scout program.

    Disgusting!.. Not sure of the connection to Boy Scouts. But I hope the individuals responsible for the destruction of a portion of the natural beauty of Goblin Valley get arrested and prosecuted to the limits of the law...
