Readers were interest in forming Scouting groups and the editor staff initial support this move indicate that Baden-Powell would be consulted. Also, that CHUMS Scouts should wear the 'Chums' League badge.[1] The CHUMS newspaper reach in the British Empire and thus CHUMS Scout Patrols formed in Australian in 1908.[2] with Baden-Powell arrangement with his publisher, Pearson, CHUMS was denied the rights to publish the Scout scheme in what was a rivial paper. Later, CHUMS indicated that there would be a CHUMS Legion of Scouts formed from the CHUMS Scout Patrols to be anounced later. Instead CHUMS announced the launch of British Boy Scouts (BBS) and that it would be the official BBS journal in May 1909.[1]
