The Group was formed in January 1980 with the development of the Springfield housing estate. At that time the group consisted of a Cub Pack and Scout Troop. The Pack had ten boys and the Troop six. They met at a local School and for some eight years the Group Scout Leader also acted as the Scout Leader.
