Meeting Place
Meeting Place
Each cellular unit needs a place to meet. This could be in someone's home, barn or farm building, or parish room. The venue need not be permanent and could change, dependent on the programme or activity. A Patrol might just arrange to meet at the village bus shelter or its favourite tree.
For the monthly Section meeting make use of an existing Scout headquarters, campsite/activity centre or village hall. The meeting could be at a convenient centre of the 'cobweb' or rotate round each village in turn. Alternatively visit a local place of interest or go on a hike and avoid the need to have a hall or headquarters at all!
Equipment
Each Lodge/Six/Patrol will need the relevant handbooks and a small amount of basic equipment and materials; scissors, paper, maps etc. These could be kept in a sturdy portable container for use at den meetings and taken to the monthly Section meeting if required.
Scout Patrols will need some basic outdoor equipment but this can be borrowed or acquired over time. Parents might help to buy or fund raise for some of it.
