Boy Scout Leaders Film Themselves Destroying Ancient Rock Formation



A trio Boy Scout leaders in Utah claim they were merely performing a "civic service" when they decided to destroy a unique rock formation that had been overlooking Goblin Valley State Park for the past 20 million years.

"Some little kid was about ready to walk down here and die and Glenn saved his life by getting the boulder out of the way," one of the men can be heard saying in footage of the incident. "So it’s all about saving lives here at Goblin Valley."

Local Parks officials have a different take on the matter.

"This is highly, highly inappropriate," Utah State Parks spokesman Eugene Swalberg told the Salt Lake Tribune. "This is not what you do at state parks. It’s disturbing and upsetting."
