My guess is because OSM was started by somebody in the UK; OSM is (supposedly) based upon British English usage; the UK has scouts but not Chiro or KSA. OSM has scouts because back in the early days we wanted to map scouts but had no need to map Chiro. I don't see why you can't use club=chiro (as long as it is actually a club). To map it as club=scout would be misleading to foreign visitors who might enter it and wiggle their woggle (or whatever it is that scouts do). To quote from the wiki page: "An example list of common kind of club bases: [...]" so that list is not exhaustive. Also "If you find no suitable club=* tag add one or use club=yes." so you are explicitly permitted add other (sensible) values. I'd say that unless somebody comes up with a valid objection, just go with club=chiro. And if you do, you should probably add it to the wiki so somebody doesn't come along in 3 months and ask how to map Chiro or why club=chiro isn't in the wiki. -- Paul
