Introduction  \nThis booklet is intended to support all those who have responsibility for a guiding property in Scotland. It is relevant to all properties, whether owned or leased (alone or jointly); including (but not limited to) halls, campsites, residential accommodation, and outdoor centres.  \nIf you are a member of a Property Management Committee (PMC) (please see section 3 for details of who the PMC are) or a commissioner with a property in your patch, this booklet is for you! In each district, division, or county where there is a guiding property, this is probably the biggest asset and potentially the biggest risk, however it is hoped that the information on the following pages will guide you through the tasks that need to be considered in order to comply with the wide range of legislation, and to fulfil Girlguiding’s expectations regarding property management.  \nThis booklet has been designed to help and support you. Checklists and templates have been included in the appendices to enable you to undertake and record necessary checks. Links have also been included to useful websites which will give a more detailed explanation of compliance requirements.  \nThe Girlguiding Scotland County Property Support Group can also help. You can contact us on [property@girlguiding-scot.org.uk](property@girlguiding-scot.org.uk or)[ ](property@girlguiding-scot.org.uk or)[or](property@girlguiding-scot.org.uk or) get peer support through our Facebook group; Girlguiding Scotland Property Network.  \n2. Ownership of property and the property trustees  \nGirlguiding Scotland would recommend that all properties (owned or leased) are held by the county, however we are aware that this is not always the case. Whichever level the property is held at, the county executive should be kept up to date with regard to the management of the property and an annual report should be submitted to them (please see section 3. The Property Management Committee for more information) . As all guiding entities are unincorporated bodies, any property (owned freehold or leased) must be held on behalf of the county, by named property trustees.
