Scouts swimming in the sea on the Isle of Man and enjoying various attractions at a local fairground. Excerpts from camp life and views of scouts rowing in a fishing harbour. Scenes from countryside walks and tree-felling around Brock Mill and Longridge are followed by a war-time salvage drive. A series of episodic clips follows, featuring snowball fights, hiking expeditions, a visit to Windermere railway station, performances of acrobatic exercises and a demonstration of semaphore.
