Description

Scouts are shown getting into a lorry, followed by views of their camp being set up and a trip to a waterfall with scouts climbing on rocks by the falls. A glimpse of people emerging from the White Scar Caves follows and of scouts crossing a stream on stepping stones. A comic interlude at camp, where scouts pull the shorts off one of their friends in a melee, followed by the fuming victim sewing them up. Scouts eating at tables, diving and swimming in an outdoor pool, being inspected at drill and hiking through bracken on a hillside. Scenes from a role-playing game, featuring opposing sides dressed as native American Indians, followed by scouts erecting a pulley block over a lake inlet and hauling each other across in turn. Brief views of a paper chase and scouts washing in a stream.
