In November, 1959 the Huon Council gave permission to the Scout & Guide Associations in Huonville to build a hall on the Huonville Recreation Ground, for the use of the Association only for the Scouts, Guides, Cubs & Brownies already formed in Huonville & for Rover Scouts & Ranger Guides if formed later.

The Council also agreed to allow the Association to run stalls & provide afternoon tea for the opening of the Huonville Bridge on the 29th November. The funds raised helped finance the project. 130 pounds was raised.

Willing helpers are doing a great service for the boy scout and girl guide movements in the Huon Valley. Each weekend sees volunteer workers, on on the shift system, erecting a spacious building on the Huonville oval for scout and guide activities in the district. Funds have been raised by both organisations, and members have helped in the erection of the building, which is expected to be ready by February.

Members of five Apex clubs, Moonah, Lindisfarne, New Norfolk, Hobart, and
Huonville, lent a hand at Huonville on Saturday to a local project to build a big scout and guide hall. They put on the roof  and most of the sides during the day. The treasurer (Miss B. Francombe, who is also divisional commissioner of guides for the Huon) reported that generous donations and voluntary labour had advanced the project to its present stage in just over a year for an outlay of only £578. Donations made recently by Hobart firms dealing in Huonville had enabled the roof and walls to be proceeded with on Saturday.
