Welcome to Scouting - A Guide for Parents & Carers

With the purchase of the Ballan Guide Hall by Scouts Victoria as a Scout Hall for the 1st Ballan Scout Group their was an ultimate focus that one day a new Scout Hall would be built on this site for the Ballan Community.

During the following years many meetings, conversations and plans were put in place with not a lot of success.

Then during an election campaign the Victorian State Government opened their eyes up to the growing Ballan community and the potential for further growth and development in the area and committed funds towards a new Scout Hall on the understanding that their commitment needed to be matched dollar for dollar.

This ignited a desire within the 1st Ballan Family & Scouts Victoria to match their offer and make their dreams come true by raising the funds needed to build a Hall that would function primarily as a Scout Hall as well as a community resource.

Ballan Guide House History

A Guide Hall becomes a Scout Hall ...

A PROPERTY FOR THE YOUTH OF BALLAN

With a revitalised Committee, a passion to succeed, a desire to provide for the Community and motivation within Scouts Victoria a tireless amount of work was completed towards achieving the goal of funding a new hall ...

Then SUCCESS ... news had come through that our 1st Ballan Family would receive a Federal Government Grant that would match dollar for dollar the State Government promise followed by extra funds provided by the local Moorabool Shire ... the dream would now become a reality.

A new Scout Hall would be built.
