On September 23^rd 1911, Reginald William Wright was fatally injured whilst out on a night exercise when he fell over a quarry face on The Chevin.  He was aged just 21.  A silver bugle was presented to the Group by the Queens College Cambridge in his memory.  The Group also but a black rim around their red neckers which is still there today.   Ivan Wright took over the position of Scoutmaster in 1912.

Duffield Cub Pack was formed in 1916, the same year they were started nationally.  In the 1920s the Group made its headquarters in a wooden building on Holloway Road.

In 1962, it was decided that the Scout Headquarters on Holloway Road were in a very bad state of repair at some 70 years of age.  A Mr Bowmer made available a site behind Kennings Garage off Hall Farm Road for a new building to be built.  In 1965 work was complete and later extended in 1975.  At this point, the Duffield Guides and Brownies transferred to this building and it became known as the ‘Duffield Scout and Guide Headquarters’.
