The first meeting of the Flagstaff Hill Scout Group was held at Flagstaff Hill Primary School on Monday 31 October 1977. The inaugural leaders were John Michell (Akela), Di Strutton (Baloo), Jan Darrett (Bagheera) and Alan Reddy (Kaa).

The Group moved into the current complex named Taikaringa in 1988 which was officially opened in September of 1989.
