Respectful Bump…

For me, your link is blocked due to an unspecified security risk.

I’m assuming that this is some kind of campsite? Not really something we have in the UK, so I don’t know that my opinion would be worth much. For us, we have scout huts that are usually also used by other community groups and are the size of a large shed, so it’s a very different situation.

Here is a quote from their website:

About Us
The Boys & Girls Club of Chicopee has been a cornerstone of the community for over a century. The earliest known facts of the Club go back to 1912 when the Club was incorporated. The Club was then located on Dwight Street with approximately 100 boys in the program. In 1914, newspaper articles indicated that the Club was still in existence with a very active basketball team which participated in competition with the Springfield Boys Club. The City of Chicopee later gave the Club an old school building located on Royal Street in Chicopee. According to newspaper articles, the Club was very active.

The Chicopee Boys Club was elected to the National Boys Clubs of America in 1952. The Fraternal Order of the Eagles (Chicopee Boys Club official name) was very active in programming and activities. On June 1, 1956, the Fraternal Order of Eagles was incorporated. Sometime in 1956 the Fairview Lodge and the Boys Club merged, duly noted on April 1, 1957 by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Hampden County Registry of Deeds.

From that day forward, the Boys Club had been known as the Chicopee Boys Club, Inc. In 1988, the Club’s name changed again to the Chicopee Boys & Girls Club, Inc., duly noted March 1988 by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Secretary of State’s Office.

This is basically an afterschool program for kids, and should be under the same restrictions as schools, since children are there without their guardians.

Maybe this is what I should have quoted

Just checked again and I have no issue with the link.

I am also from the UK, this was found during reviews.

My days in the cubs and scouts was in a school then a church hall but there are others in the area that have the “large shed”. I have seen other threads that mention that in these “shed” cases the location is primarily aimed at kids so should be rejected. Our local school is also used on poling day but doesn’t make it eligible.

Final bump..

Thanks for the update.

The delays including to the map updates did make it difficult to check…

There is 1 that seems to have been missed and worth another look…
