The statement is there to distinguish between facilities where people with specific problems get
help, and those you'd visit voluntarily. Thus if everybody (maybe within a specific age group) could
join (i.e. become a member) of the scouts, or a sports club, than amenity=community_centre would be
suitable.
There are subtags that describe the facility closer, such as
- community_centre=youth_centre
- community_centre=club_home
or the target community, such as
community_centre:for=child
Adding club=scout does not hurt in you case.
