Description

Compilation of pack holidays with the 2nd and 14th Swinton Wolf Cub Packs. Mr Smith films the train journey to Caenarvon. At the camp we see the boys playing, showering outside, peeling potatoes, eating in a courtyard and playing rounders. They climb Snowdon, where we see shots of the Mountain Railway, and go to Dinas Dinlle beach. The boys visit Caernarfon Castle. On Anglesey, they go to a beach and visit South Stack lighthouse. In Llandudno, Michael Smith joins them on the beach, the cubs go on the dodgems and Mr Smith takes Michael on the boating lake. They watch a Punch and Judy show and buy presents. The film ends with a sports day with races and prizegiving.
