context_page_description: A Scout hall is a building owned or rented and used as a meeting place by a Scout Group.
context_section_description: A Scout hall typically consists of one or more large rooms which are used for games and Scouting activities, and may also include smaller rooms for committee meetings, storage of camping equipment and a kitchen. When not being used for Scouting, Scout halls are often hired to other community groups, in a similar way to a village hall or community centre.
  If the Scout hall consists of several large rooms, the various sections can have their own large room. Rooms for younger sections, like Beaver Scouts, Rainbow Guides, Cub Scouts and Brownie Guides are decorated with pictures and objects from their theme. Rooms for older sections are decorated with maps, knots, (small) examples of Scoutcraft and camp souvenirs.  In a room for the Scout troop each patrol should have its own section.
  A Scout hall can be built for this use or a reuse of a building or part of a building that is not well suited for a different purpose. Sea Scout Groups may have an old cargo ship as a movable Scout hall. If there is space available, there is often a small or larger campsite next to a Scout hall. Scout halls are also used, by other Scout Groups, in particular for the younger sections, for camps or sleepovers.
