| been identified are: | ||||||
| Damage to the building, properly and equipment. The Grou |
||||||
| would request the use ofbuildings, property and equipment |
||||||
| from neighbouring organisafions such as the church, |
||||||
| community centre and other Scout Groups. Similar |
||||||
| reciprocal arrangements exist with these organisafions. The |
||||||
