Standard? No. Do whatever you like :) But there are a few useful conventions. Personally, I keep all my random tools in a shed - specifically, ~/shed, which is a single git repository in which I throw all sorts of random junk, mostly those single-file scripts that don't have any other real identity. (Some of them do end up growing more files. It's rather ill-defined as a concept.) You could also just leave them in your home directory. That's pretty decent too.
