Statement of Significance

Pakenham Scout Hall, built in 1937, is of significance to the Cardinia Shire as an important community building in a major shire service centre. It has architectural and aesthetic value for its use of the popular rustic American log-cabin, mountain lodge style which related to the bushland links of the scouting movement as well as being an evocation of the district's thriving timber industry. It has been a local landmark in James Street for more than 50 years.
