  I remember reading a book (can't remember which) that spoke of a couple of
publishing houses that produced books of Scouts having adventures, much along
the line of the Hardy Boys series.  I recall that this was a fairly short
lived set of books for what ever reason (depression?) but your copyright
dates indicate that may not be the case.
  Good luck on your quest!
