Abstract: A 1-form symmetry and a 0-form symmetry may combine to form an extension known as the 2-group symmetry. We find the presence of the latter in a class of Argyres-Douglas theories, called $D_p($USp$(2N))$, which can be realized by $mathbb{Z}_2$-twisted compactification of the 6d $mathcalN=(2,0)$ of the $D$-type on a sphere with an irregular twisted puncture and a regular twisted full puncture. We propose the $3$d mirror theories of general $D_p($USp$(2N))$ theories that serve as an important tool to study their flavor symmetry and Higgs branch. Yet another important result is presented: We elucidate a technique, dubbed bootstrap, which generates an infinite family of $D_p^b(G)$ theories, where for a given arbitrary group $G$ and a parameter $b$, each theory in the same family has the same number of mass parameters, same number of marginal deformations, same $1$-form symmetry, and same $2$-group structure. This technique is utilized to establish the presence or absence of the 2-group symmetries in several classes of $D_p^b(G)$ theories. In this regard, we find that the $D_p($USp$(2N))$ theories constitute a special class of Argyres-Douglas theories that have a 2-group symmetry.
