His sub-team of supporters may have multiple roles within the team, with the view that many hands make light work and it should not fall on one particular individual’s shoulders all of the time. The overall aim is to improve and maintain the condition of the premises the Scout Group uses and ensure compliance with health and safety requirements and any other regulation appertaining to the use of the premises.
A dedicated group of people who can be called on to undertake maintenance tasks (currently twice a year), but determined by ongoing requirements.
