The team was originally named the Outer Banks Daredevils and located in Manteo until the team moved to Kill Devil Hills in 2006; for the 2023 season the team moved their home field back to Manteo and rebranded as the Outer Banks Scallywags. [1] Since their founding, the Scallywags have had much success winning the 2002 and 2003 Coastal Plain League championships.
