Administrative history
The Moose Jaw Number 9 Scout Hall was initially a barn located on Cartier Avenue in the 1930s. Miss Myrtle Dixon was one of the first the Club Leaders and the first female Club Leader in Saskatchewan. Funds were eventually raised to move the Scout Hall to a vacant building on 8th Avenue and Hochelaga East. A foundation and plumbing were also constructed for the building from the raised funds.
It was again decided to find or create a larger space to accommodate the growing number of boy scouts, cubs, and guides, and brownies. Funds were raised to enlarge the size of the existing Scout Hall, the designs having been developed by Michael Murray.
Michael and Iris Murray were significant members of the Scout Hall. Michael joined in October, 1956 and became Scout Leader. His wife, Iris, joined the Scout Hall on October 31, 1957.
The construction of a new hall was marked by a cornerstone being laid by then Mayor L.H. Lewry on April 5, 1965. The new hall was completed in 1967.
The scout hall was vacant by 1997 when it became occupied by a Moose Jaw Koseikan Judo Club. It is not known when Moose Jaw Number 9 Scout Hall disbanded and dissolved.
