Mr. John Lawlor:

I will ask the chief scout to comment on the issues of dens, property and so on which are related to the charity issue. Local groups are our strength. They are based in the community and, a little like a GAA club, absorb whatever energy is in a local area to make things happen. That is more challenging in disadvantaged areas. We have wonderful support in our engagement with other community organisations, but it is a big issue for groups to have somewhere to meet, store their equipment and train.
