Mid to late 1980s - When the Bald Hills Scout Group Den was opened in 1957, there were few houses in the street. However, by the late 1980s the Group had outgrown the suburban street house block. They were unable to grow further or accomodate the entire Group at one time, let alone host District events.
They often had complaints from the neighbours, and this coupled with the lack of space saw the Group looking at options to relocate.
The Group had been fundraising for years in preparation for the relocation and had many discussions with Council, State Government and Scouts Queensland regarding the issue.
