Join The Team

SERVICE TEAMS

Service Teams are groups of people from age 14 upwards and vary from teams of Explorer Scouts, Ranger Guides to older members as Scout Fellowships, Teams of Leaders who want to give the odd weekend of service to Paccar Scout Camp. Service Teams stay in the accommodation on-site for the weekend of their duty and work with the Camp Site Manager to undertake both some of the usual day to day jobs such as keeping the toilet blocks clean & tidy, managing our recycling station, clearing drains etc and also more exciting project work either developing new attractions or maintaining existing ones. Service Teams cover the number of weekends appropriate to their available time, some doing 2 or 3 weekends per year, others doing just the one. Teams usually come as their unit name and the members can and do change each time they visit.

SERVICE CREWS

The Service Crew stay in the accommodation on-site for the weekend of their duty and work with the Camp Site Manager to undertake both some of the usual day to day jobs such as keeping the toilet blocks clean & tidy, managing our recycling station, clearing drains etc and also more exciting project work either developing new attractions or maintaining existing ones. Generally, Service Crew members are recruited from other teams of people who have already given good service to Paccar Scout Camp, either through being a Service Team member or coming by recommendation through existing Crew members. Being a Crew member requires considerable commitment of a minimum of 1 weekend every month. The Crew is an organisation in its own right and also has its own social programme. The Crew operate under a training scheme and afford a higher level of responsibility, driving the tractor, assisting campers, running activity sessions, supervising service teams etc.

AD HOC HELP

We also have a number of people who help us in a variety of ways. Normally older, retired people or younger people who don't really fit into other categories. There are always a million and one ways to help us out, whether it be maintaining activity equipment, stocking the shop, helping out in the office, answering the phone, planting trees, cutting grass etc, we're always looking for help. If you are interested in any of the above, please contact us for further information and an informal chat and we'll see how we can help each other. Paccar is certainly a fantastic place to volunteer; out in the countryside, blue skies, trees, plenty of wildlife and colleagues who are friendly with a good sense of humour, nothing could be a finer way of spending your spare time.
