Former Boy Scouts Troop 80 Scoutmaster and Eugene Police officer was forced to resign both his job and his Scouting position when he admitted to “abnormal conduct with boys,” according to his BSA confidential Perversion File.

Hester, who resigned in 1966, was registered with the troop from 1962, and also worked with grade school kids as Eugene Police Department’s city-wide training officer for grade school kids inflatable toys.

“We give victims the support they need to stand up and speak the truth to some of the largest and most revered institutions in the world. These survivors are the ones putting a stop to patterns of abuse and cover-up. They are the ones protecting the next generations. They are the heroes. I am honored to work with them”
