An amateur film by Maurice Brunton, believed made in Middlesbrough, showing a troop of boy scouts preparing for a soapbox derby, a visit to Billy Smarts Circus, and an assembly with a Chief Scout. The film opens with shots of scouts standing next to their soapbox racers. The scouts load their soapbox racers on the back of a lorry. A group of scouts march along a grass verge next to a road. Next, scouts stand outside a marquee for Billy Smarts Circus. They stand in two rows outside the entrance, creating a path for official guests entering the marquee. General views show scouts in a field [over exposed]. The scouts stand to attention, as Chief Scouts wearing wide-brimmed hats oversee the assembly. General views of the field show a campsite and scouts milling around, as fires are lit. The film ends as awards are presented to some of the scouts.
