Detail of the Group is hard to come by following the outbreak of the First World War. With the shortage of newsprint, local papers reduced in size and the news was restricted to national and local events regarding the war effort. However from later reports on the Group it is clear that it continued to function during these difficult times, and is born out by a group photograph, obviously taken during the war as it depicts Scoutmaster Walker wearing military uniform
