• safe storage and handling of fuels such as methylated spirits, paraffin, petrol and gas

• care of cooking stoves and cooking utensils, including simple repairs, cleaning and general maintenance

• convenient storage of a section’s training and games equipment

• caring for and storing equipment used for adventurous  activities, such as sailing gear, canoes and paddles, life jackets and buoyancy aids, go-karts or climbing ropes.

• Keep a simple record showing equipment issued and returned.

and liaise with the Group Scout Leader on equipment that needs to be reviewed, renewed or replaced.
