By the Amociated Press, CHICAGO, March 15.—Consolida- tion of the Lone Scouts of America with the Boy Scouts of America, whereby the membership of the Boy Scouts will be increased from 600,000 to 700,000, was begun here today. The merger was sanctioned recent- 1y by the executive board of the Boy Scouts at a hearing in New York, and Armatrong Perry, former chief pioneer scout of the Boy Scouts, was com- missioned to devise means of effect- ing the amalgamation. The organizations will retain their identities while their ofcials con- sider the probiem of consolidation. The Lone Scout movement, design- od primarily for country boys, was| started In 1915 by W. D. Boyoce of Chicago, who also was responsible for starting the Boy Scouts In_tne | United States, because of a “g0 turn” done him by a Boy Scout in London, The country boy was unable to avail himself of the privileges of the Boy Scouts because of the difficulty in organizing troops in small places, so Mr. Boyce conceived the idea of the Lone Scouts The programs of the two organiza- tions are similar, as are the uniforms One difference ‘is that the Lone Scouts do not have adult leadership like the Boy Scouts.
