Boy Scouts Boot Two Men Involved in Destruction of Rock Formation in Utah
Glenn Taylor toppled a 170 million-year-old formation in Goblin Valley State Park
Two leaders of a US scout group shown in an online video toppling an ancient rock formation in Utah have been removed from their positions.
The Boy Scouts of America had condemned the destruction, calling it "reprehensible behaviour".
Dave Hall filmed Glenn Taylor pushing over the 170 million-year-old sandstone rock in Goblin Valley State Park and celebrating afterwards.
The men argued the rock was loose and could have fallen on a passer-by.
