Voluntary '''service''' unto others is a great boon to any society, either mundanely or within a [[recreation group]]. It is part of what keeps any group cohesive, running well and helps everyone have fun.

In the [[SCA]], this could be staying back and helping after a [[feast]] to clean up, [[autocrat]]ting, [[feastocrat]]ting, [[education|teaching]] people new skills, assisting people with their projects, helping [[newbie]]s, writing and revising [[SCA]] paperwork e.g. [[marshal's handbook]], holding an [[office]] (and fulfilling its role), and simply enriching the [[Society]] with support and generosity.

The SCA has various [[award]]s for good service. These range from the local level (e.g. [[Baronial level award]]s) to [[Kingdom level award]]s. People who have excelled in service are elevated to the Order of the [[Pelican]] which is recognised through the Society.
