IDAHO FALLS, Idaho -- Molestation allegations continue to emerge against Boy Scout officials who worked under the current Grand Teton Council leadership. An investigation by the Post Register newspaper found allegations against at least three 'gays' who worked with eastern Idaho Boy Scouts in the 1980s and 1990s. Two of the 'gays' have already been convicted of their crimes. Camp Little Lemhi counselor and staff supervisor Brad Stowell was arrested in 1997 and confessed to molesting dozen of boys, many of them scouts. Though court documents in his case were sealed, the Post Register fought the matter in court and they were released to the public earlier this year. Former Camp Little Lemhi counselor Jeff Hardin was convicted of lewd conduct for molesting in 1991 a Chubbuck boy he first got to know at the Boy Scout camp. Records of that case were also unsealed in May. Now, a new sworn statement filed Friday in Bannock County court alleges that another camp counselor raped a 15-year-old Eagle Scout in 1983.
