The following gives 15 years in which Groups directly affiliated to a Church were given in the census. During this time one Troop was based in a school founded by Methodists. It is not clear where this was recorded or if other schools specifically aligned themselves with a denomination.
Returns started in 1957 and the returns were not entered on the Secretaries copy retained for District for 1971.
