An amateur film produced by Maurice Brunton of the Avenue Scouts of Middlesbrough Summer Camp to North Wales in 1951. Returning to the location found during their Easter hiking trip, they work as a troop to build their camp in a field and also prepare themselves for an inspection which not only includes their kit and tent but also their personal hygiene. The Scouts also have a chance to relax and have fun hiking in the hills and making use of a rowing boat. The film opens at a railway station, possibly Middlesbrough, where a troop of Scouts is working together to pack a railway goods wagon with their camping equipment. Once full they push the wagon along the track and watch as it is coupled to a steam locomotive. The train pulls the wagon back towards the platform. Family and friends wave goodbye to the train as it pulls out of the station. Three boys sit relaxing on a grassy hill looking over a hilly landscape. One boy appears to be snoozing using a rock as a pillow. The troop stands beside a fast-flowing river and stone bridge before trekking along a path up the side of a hill. The boys pull a rowing boat onto the water followed by three boys who row away along a river. The troop hike through the countryside with two boys who are given a piggyback. Clothes hang from a line inside a tent, two boys tidy up nearby. A flag pole has been erected in the middle of a field, a number of tents are erected nearby. A number of boys carry boxes across the field. Two boys splash about in a puddle outside one of the tents, behind them two more boys open the front flaps of the tent. Working together the boys carry a number of what appear to be larger tents onto the field followed by some general camp activities. Outside one of the tents, the boys have placed all their clothing and kit and work together to sort it all. An overview of the campsite shows boys in other tents doing the same. With everything in order, the Scouts outside one of the tents come to attention and salute as a Scouts Master approaches for an inspection. A second leader appears and together they inspect both the kit and tent as well as the back of the boys' necks for personal hygiene. A number of mugs hang from a branch, the two leaders look over them with interest. The Scouts at another tent come to attention for their inspection the leaders look at the boys' hands and fingernails as well as their kit and tent. The inspection over the troop rushes over and stands around the flag pole, the Union Jack flies from the top. The boys walk across the field in a line, possibly looking for rubbish. Inside a house, three boys and a man are sitting around a table where they eat a meal and drink cups of tea. On the railway platform of Betws-Y-Coed station, the troop stands together chatting happily. The film ends with one boy using a pocket knife to cut something off the shoulder of a jacket worn by another Scout.
