Navy term
A bag, usually a cupboard or locker in which all articles of clothing found lying about on the mess decks are put; to redeem these articles a fine of one inch of bar soap is (was) levied. The scran bag is usually in the charge of the Petty Officer of the Messdecks or one of the Regulating staff; the soap is used to supplement the official issue for cleaning various compartments of the ship. Scran is a general slang name for food; the original scran bag was probably a bag in which unwanted food was put, for re-use, to prevent waste.
