An amateur film produced by Maurice Brunton the majority of which features Middlesbrough Scouts attending the 7th World Scouting Jamboree taking place at Bad Ischl in Austria in August 1951. The film features views of the many international encampments built around the site to show fellow Scouts what scouting means to them in their own country. Title: Middlesbrough Scouts The film opens on a group of Scouts climbing a tree using ropes, one participant comes down the tree sitting in a basket. In another part of the wood other boys walk along a rope bridge constructed just off the ground over a small pond. The film changes to show blindfolded boys walking through the wood following a guideline into a field. A Scout Master gives instructions and a tent is taken down, packed away neatly with the boys standing to attention when the task completed. In another part of the field, Scouts cook over a campfire. A view of The Alps mountain range changes to a triangular flag with the Austrian region ‘Salzkammergut' written on it. A pointer moves across a map of the Jamboree Camp followed by a crowd of Scouts walking past the wooden entrance to a Scout camp. Flags of various nationalities fly above another entranceway as a group walks past up a hill towards a wooden tower built at the top. Crowds make their way up and down the tower while from the top views follow across the whole Jamboree campsite. A model of a windmill marks the entrance to the Dutch camp as both male and female Scouts walk past. An entrance in the shape of a castle marks the entrance to Pakistan's camp, a Pakistani Scout stands smartly in the entranceway with his compatriots standing talking nearby. A view of three young women wearing traditional Alpine dresses changes to views of many other international camps at the jamboree including Denmark, Holland, and Belgium. One camp includes two full-size totem poles. A group of Scouts come together for a meal at a long table. A large traditional Alpine building has a sign above it that reads ‘Tirol' and a number of heraldic shields hang from the entrance to a camp for a troop of Scouts from London. A Welsh camp has built a pit head and wheel from wood. A number of Scouts lean over into a tent, a sign nearby reads ‘Radio Bern’. A Scout from Hong Kong writes something onto a pad. A group of Scouts wash themselves beside their tent, their encampment surrounded on all sides by other tents. Inside one of their tents a group of boys relax and chat while outside a Scout Leader spins a wooden contraption. In a stream Scouts splash about having fun. Scouts continue walking around the camp passing the entrance to the ‘Central Yorkshire' encampment. Inside Middlesbrough, Scouts speak with others from around the world. A stall has been set up with various trinkets. More views follow of Scouts walking around the site visiting various international encampments. One entrance appears to have two tents built on two floors. A sign nearby reads ‘Los Angeles City Limits’ and a Scout is possibly scrubbing some clothes as other hang washing from lines between their tents. An artwork is painted into the canvas of a tent. The film ends of a flag flying from a pole. Title: The end
