Grading comment

Since the word refers to an activity and the group that is scrounging is rather militant, this should be the optimal term in this regard. Thanx!

ordne/fikse/organsiere (orge)

Explanation:
Dette er et uttrykk i vanlig språkbruk som betyr noe slikt; De kommer her for å ordne seg (fikse, organisere) støtte til saken sin. Det kan også\ bety stjele, rappe etc, men her vil nok tiktig oversetting være "organisere", vil jeg mene.
