The film captures many of the typical scouting and camping activities which took place on the trips. Title - Whitsun 1956 The film opens in Horsforth, West Yorkshire, as the Scouts begin their journey. They are picked up by a large truck, and the boys all pile into the back of the truck with their camping gear. Footage is taken from the truck as it drives along the town roads including Newlay Lane. The group stops briefly to pick up supplies before arriving at Hazelbrae. Here, they unload the truck and begin to set up camp, pitching the tents. Three Scoutmasters talk as they wait for a kettle to boil over a fire. The Scouts then go to a woodland area nearby and start to chop down at small trunks to get extra fire wood. Back in the centre of camp, the scouts raise the flagpole. After, the boys stand together and salute the scout flag. An extended sequence shows fun races take place before they go rock climbing. Back at the camp, the leaders start the fire, and the boys begin to prepare a meal starting by peeling potatoes. Dinner is served, and the boys sit in the sun enjoying the meal. This section of the film closes with shots of a bonfire.
