McLaren was brought in to help with the growing Scout movement in 1907, serving on the staff at the [[Brownsea Island Scout camp]].<ref name=Jeal/> Later, Baden-Powell invited him to be the Boy Scouts' first manager.<ref name=Jeal/> In the early power struggles of the period, Baden-Powell trusted in his friend to prevent others from leading the organization in a wrong direction. (Jeal, p.388)

Baden-Powell [[nickname]]d McLaren affectionately "The Boy," and remained close to him until (against Baden-Powell's advice) McLaren chose to remarry after divorcing his wife of thirty years, to a woman who in Baden-Powell's opinion was below his station.<ref name=Jeal/>

McLaren had schooled at [[Harrow School|Harrow]] and studied at [[Royal Military Academy Sandhurst|Sandhurst]] before joining his [[regiment]] in 1880.
