A club, being an association between people, is not a geographical entity.

Thus I prefer tagging the physical entity, which is the club home, with
amenity=community_centre
where you can specify more closely what it is, e.g.
community_centre=club_home or
community_centre=youth_centre
and specify the target group with
community_centre:for=*

Adding club=* to describe the intentions of the club even further, the special interest, is fine, 
but I'd not use it alone. club=scout, from the original question, would be such special interest.

Contrary, the age group (senior, youth) is not a special interest in that sense, compared to the 
long list of valid examples on the page.
