My Thoughts on owning our own Scout Hall... (It's A Lot!)

Ever feel like managing the Scout Hall is practically a full-time job? You're not alone!In this video, I share my candid thoughts sparked by yet another meeting about our hall (this time with the nursery manager about the rental agreement!). We explore the ongoing debate: Is it better for a Scout Group to own its own HQ or rent somewhere like a school or church hall?-The hidden workload of ownership (maintenance requests, tenant management, security, legislation, repairs like roofs and painting!).-The benefits of having your own space (storage, freedom to decorate, setting your own rules).-The appeal of renting (simplicity, maintenance handled by others).-The downsides of renting (strict rules, rising costs, lack of control).It's a dilemma many Group Scout Leaders and Lead Volunteers face. What side of the fence are you on? Own or rent – what works best for your Group and why?Share your experiences and opinions in the comments – let's discuss!
