⁽¹⁾ This may have been 1978.

From about 2000 onwards, the format of the Group's Scout Camps changed.
The annual two-week, or latterly one-week, camp tended to be replaced by shorter, more frequent ones.
There were also a number of joint camps with other Troops and District Camps.
Camps where the 59th has not taken the lead or joint lead role are shown in italics and are not shown on the camp map.
