We’re offering a special residential experience for those working towards the Queens Scout, Queen Guide award and or the Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award. You will spend a minimum of 4 nights & 5 days assisting in a range of roles. You will be working with other volunteers you will not previously have met.

Volunteer Duties

Volunteers completing their residential at the camp will help with a wide range of activities from the initial build of the site to running of activities, catering for event staff and helping with security and maintenance. This will involve constructing, moving, cleaning, along with general operation of activities and sites facilities.

We aim to deliver a varied programme of roles for you. Days can be long, starting early in the morning and continuing into the evening – and very busy. You will get down time and a chance to catch up with your team members and all the other volunteers. You will be able to choose between different teams and roles during the event. There may be requirements to stay with the same teams and may be asked to change at short notice due to operational needs.

Where will you be staying

You will need to provide your own tent and camping equipment, but all food is provided in the cost of £25.00 per person.

If over 18 you must have a current DBS to attend camp, and also complete the registration form on our staff registration page.

Transport Links

Ragley Hall has good bus links of 15-20 mins from train stations at Stratford upon Avon (#2 or #15), Evesham(#51& #247) and Redditch (57 & S85)

What should you bring:

Suitable clothing: Outdoor clothes, you will be outdoors in all weather conditions – nothing too precious as clothing can get dirty or damaged. Bring your warm jacket and sturdy boots, e.g. waterproof hiking boots.
