Service Team are members aged 16 – 30 that provide ‘service’ to all parts of the camp. We have so many roles on camp ranging from helping run activities for the campers, keeping camp clean and assisting other teams carry out their tasks. 

During the week duties are divide up evenly, so everyone gets a fair share! It’s not just cleaning toilets and picking up litter, that’s just one of hundreds of jobs and activities that service team get to do. There are several elements to the service team that are packed full of fun and hard work. Service Team may be in charge of running activities like craft or sports, or they might be helping out security where they will be checking who comes and goes from the site, or they could be helping prepare for the evening entertainment! Many think all they do is clean – that’s actually one of the smallest parts of the role (and actually one of the most fun!). 

Service Team get chance to take part in a community project. Previously they have re-vamped gardens, playparks and a dog’s trust! They are involved in the planning of the project from choosing what to do and carrying it out. They complete the project in their small teams. 

They also get a day off, which again is of their own choosing! Previous teams have gone to Alton Towers or to a spa, to the cinema or a shopping day! It’s completely up to each team to plan and have fun. There is a set budget and it’s up to each group to make the day work!

These are all the practical things service team get up to, but the most important part of service team is being part of it! There will be the opportunity to meet girls from across the county and be merged into a series of teams enabling everyone to meet new people and create new friendships. Unity will also be able to count towards some of the awards within Guiding such as your Queen’s Guide and Duke of Edinburgh.  During the week service team are expected to work hard and get stuck in to camp life. But also to have fun and enjoy the Unity experience. Service team go by a well-known saying - Work hard, play hard!
