Stepping in front of a moving vehicle on a dine and dash should not be SOP. Taking the license plate down and paying the freeloaders a PERFECTLY LEGAL AND OFFICIAL visit after the fact should be.
That said, it seems they're not making Eagle Scouts like they used to. I dropped out of scouting after my time as a WEBELOS, but if I found myself in the company of the kinds of degenerates who skip out on checks I'd do everything within my power to prevent the (albeit petty) theft from taking place. The dead boy should have picked up the tab if his finances allowed. And if not, he should have approached the manager on duty and offered to do a few hours at the dish sink in return for his and his friends' meals.
Scouting is one of the few activities left in America that encourages young people to put service to a higher code before fashionable thought and behavior. It's a shame it didn't sink in. Such is life in hedonistic post-America.
