Eagle Scouts have returned their awards in protest at several different times and over several different issues over the years.
In 2012 another round of highly publicized returns occurred over the BSA's re-affirmation of its policy to exclude homosexuals. One group called Scouting for All claims that 1000 scouts have done so, however, the BSA is not releasing statistics on the true number and Scouting for ALL has not released proof of their assertion. There is no way for anyone but the BSA to know how many they have received.
When you consider that 50,000 Eagles are earned annually with about 2 million being earned since 1911 (2% of all scouts) even the 1000 number, if true, represents a very small fraction. Returning an Eagle award is a truly uncommon event.
