Title - Whitsun 1958
The film opens with scenes of scouts at camp. In the morning, the boys wash themselves. Other boys come out some of the large tents that they have slept in, and there are shots of some of the camp flags. Some of the boys cook breakfast over a campfire. It looks as though breakfast is porridge, and a box of "Ready Brek" can be seen. This is an extended sequence made up of many shots of them eating and cooking, mainly shot in close ups.
The scouts line up in their uniforms by the camp flag. They proceed to perform exercises such as first aid procedures, constructing bonfires, and learning how to tie knots before they light the bonfire. The next morning, all that remains of the campfire are smoking ashes. The boys have breakfast again, before packing up and leaving the camp via a large truck. They wave and smile to the camera as they travel down the country road back home.
