Boyce felt that "Lone Scout" was the best magazine he had ever done. "Lone Scout" was so popular that it could not handle all the material that was submitted, so many local and regional "Tribe Papers" were started. By 1922, Boyce's newspaper business was suffering and "Lone Scout" was losing money—it switched from a weekly to a monthly. Boyce's racial prejudice was revealed when the racial tensions in Chicago increased in the 1920s. The LSA issued a formal proclamation in late 1920 that it would only accept whites and in 1922 changed the masthead of "Lone Scout" from "A Real Boys' Magazine" to "The White Boys Magazine".
