Description |
The film opens with scenes from the 1965 Ramboree, an international scout camp at Chatsworth Park. We see the scouts putting up their tents and starting camp fires. There is a flag raising ceremony and a religious ceremony. Scout VIPs arrive in a horse drawn carriage and meet and greet with the scouts. We see the scouts preparing food, sitting around a camp fire, taking part in sporting activities and standing for inspection. There are also scenes from the Bakewell Show where the scouts take part in a parade of international scouts. There are scenes from Hosting Week. The scouts take part in an event with the mayor and civic dignitaries in a Market Hall. We then see the scouts on various daytrips. They visit Manchester United Football Ground and Belle Vue. We also see them on a visit to the Peak District. There are shots of moving scenery filmed from the coach window, and we see the scouts visit Derwent Reservoir. |
