This is a film of the York City Guides Diamond Jubilee Camp at Hovingham Hall.
The film opens showing a badge for the “Diamond Jubilee: 1910-1970, celebration camp, May 1970.”
The Guides are driving along and arrive at a packed campsite. They have erected a camp gateway stating “1910-1970 Hovingham.” The local dignitaries arrive through the camp gate, and makes a speech to all those assembled. Various performancies are given, including the history of guiding and country dancing. The Guides then take part in an obstacle course race and do some drawing. They also do some kite flying before relaxing back at the camp. They rig up the cooking gear, exercise on the trampoline and do judo.
They sit around a large open fire in the grounds of Hovingham Hall. They are next seen next to a stream, taking it in turns to make their way across a log over the stream. They also play near a waterfall, near a bridge. Back at the camp they gather inside a marquee, while outside others play with a large inflated ball and other games. Groups of Guides sit around in groups making music, while inside the large tent they perform country dancing. A Lego exhibition is set out on a table.
Outside Girl Guides cook and then eat and then play various games. Inside the large tent they are all gathered again before we see some playing on a rope swing. There is some prize giving before we see the sun going down as they gather again around the camp fire.
