Every year the club arranges jamborees which are the biggest club events. The club is successful in saving the historical memory and researching the history of state border guarding, propagating it and giving meaning to it. The club chairman Algis Balaišis made a great impact to this area, he became the author and co-author of some books dedicated to the history of the state border guarding.
The members of Border-guards’ club take an active part in commemorating Gintaras Žagunis who was the first border-guard to lose his life during his service after restoration of Lithuanian independence on 19 May, 1991. Remembrance of Aleksandras Barauskas, the first border-guard to lose his life from the Soviet invader’s hand on 15 June, 1940, was immortalized on the initiative of the club and Borders’ museum.
