Group membership numbers from the annual census:

In 1997, the group acquired a new marquee, which is still in use at camps today.

In 1999, the group celebrated its 70th anniversary at the Kandersteg International Scout Centre in Switzerland.

On the 27th of November 1988, Allan Forster followed in the footsteps of his father and grandfather, becoming the Group Scout Leader (GSL). His dedication was recognized with the Award of Merit in 2013 and the Chief Scout's 30 Years' Service Award in 2015.

In the late 1960s, the group moved to an NCB-owned building next to Lambton Nursing Home. Around the same time, Scouting introduced structural changes to Scout groups, and Fred Forster became Group Scout Leader (GSL).

Fred was supported by the group’s first committee, which included dedicated individuals such as Alan Nicholson, Hugh Ridley, Sid Mathews, Wilf Keating, and Jim Jordan. Together, they helped fundraise through events like dances and beetle drives. Leadership within the group flourished, with figures such as Neil Smith, Carol Forster, Kevin Brown, Michael Bass, and Martin Ridley playing key roles.

Camping thrived, with Scouts enjoying trips to locations such as Walk, Brothers Water, Finthswaite, Loughrigg Tarn, Abbotsford, Derbyshire, Selkirk, and Jersey. These camps, along with other adventures, created unforgettable experiences for the Scouts. From traveling to camp on the back of George Vardy's wagon to the traditional camp court at the end, the entire experience was truly special.
