This is our scout hut on Foundry Lane, Halton. The current hut was built in the 1970’s after a fire which totally destroyed the previous hut. For further history of Scouting at 1st Halton see “History”.
We do from time to time when availability suits hire our scout hut to others within the local community, if you would like to find out more see “Hire” below.
Inside the hut there is the main hall which has coloured dens for the lodges and sixes to use during activities, a large main store room for camping equipment, a general store for activity equipment such as craft, games etc., a large kitchen, toilets and cloakrooms and a utility store. We also have a garage at the side of the building and a large patch of grass which is used for outside activities, games and for camping and pitching tents.
We are continually finding jobs to be done to improve the environment within and around the scout hut, Fundraising is currently being done so we can fund these projects and improve the scout hut for all users. We hope you like it.
A good bit of modernisation has gone into the hut in the last few years, including : new flooring within the main hall and toilets, further painting, new doors, installation of broadband thanks to B4RN and much more.
