Well, according to the Redbook of Westmarch, the Buckland Hobbits' Front stopped bickering long enough with the Hobbits' Front of Buckland to form the Buckland Defensive League, which is not to be confused with the Defensive League of Buckland, as there were only two members in that group at the time. And honestly, one can't put up much of a defense with two Hobbits.

In any case, Buckland did not exist during the Scouring of the Shire, because Tolkien never mentioned it.
