He was Chair of the Yorkshire District of the YCL and a delegate to the World Youth Festival of 1957.
As a Communist local government election candidate in 1960, he got 138 votes, or 14.5% of the vote.
Scargill joined his NUM branch committee that same year and subsequently failed to renew his YCL membership card in 1963.
