Before the Wayzata Service
Unit Team job
functions are described, the terms "service unit" and "service unit
team" are defined.
Girl Scouts of the USA has
over 300 Girl
Scout councils, which are local offices that can help you join a troop
or group, become a volunteer or leader, and assist you in many other
ways. Currently, our council is Girl Scouts of Minnesota and Wisconsin
River Valleys.
According to the Girl Scouts
of the USA's
glossary, a service unit is defined as "a name many local Girl Scout
councils give to a specific geographic
area and the Girl Scouts within it—all leaders,
troops/groups, and girls there. A service unit also includes
individuals who give troop support."
In many councils, including
our own, a service unit team is "a team of adults that facilitates
service to girls
through its volunteers in a geographic area. Usually on the team are
the service unit director or manager, recruiter, registrar, and cookie
chair, as well as age-level consultants and trainers." Listed below are
descriptions of most of the Wayzata Service Unit Team positions.
The Service Unit Managers
head the service unit,
serve as a link between troops and the council office, and have the
ultimate
responsibility for things that happen within the service unit. All
leaders
are accountable to the Servie Unit Managers.
