Actually, you can probably do it without any technical ability and just a few adapters from the likes of Radio Shack, Home Depot, etc. -- that is assuming you are not using landline integration for either hub.
Most home wiring already has four wires, which is enough for two lines. Just go buy some adapters that plug into the RJ11 in the wall and provide three taps labeled L1, L2, and L1+L2. Make sure they are labeled that way instead of the adapters which are just multiple taps each with both lines on them. They shouldn't cost more than $2 each or so. You need one per wall location (even if you have two hubs or scouts there).
At your router where the hubs sit, put one hub in L1 and the other in L2. At each location where you want a scout, if only needing a scout on the first hub you do not need an adapter at all. Just plug the scout in and it will be connected to the first hub. If you only need a scout connected to hub 2, you still need the adapter but plug the scout into L2. If you need scouts on both hubs, use the adapter but plug one scout into L1 and the other into L2.
If the four scouts are at only two locations, then you need only 3 adapters so total investment is about $6 and no wiring needs to be modified at all.
