This film documents a variety of scouting events in the Heworth District in 1979. Events include the annual St. George's Day parade that includes both Scout and Guides processing from Clifford's Tower to the York Minster as well as brief scenes of a Save the Children Parade and a Brownie Pack visit to the North York Moors. Title - Heworth District Events 1979 St Georges Day Parade The film opens at Clifford's Tower in York. Guides and Brownies stand together before they process with Scouts and Cubs through the city, down Coney Street, and into the York Minster where they will attend a special service. After the service they exit the Minster, some of the Guides at the front of the procession hold Union Jack flags. Crowds of spectators line the streets. The procession then ends back at the Castle Museum. Title - Save The Children Parade On a sunny day, Brownies are lined up in the Museum Gardens in York. The abbey ruins can be seen in the background. They then proceed to process down Bootham before ending up at the York Minster. Spectators line the procession route. Title - North Yorkshire Moors Visit At the Brownie headquarters in Heworth we see the Brownies head off to the North York Moors and Pickering steam train station. As the Brownies stand together on the platform Brown Owl does a head count before they board the train that has just pulled in. They stop at Goathland where they alight to then take a walk on the moors. At Darnholm they take a picnic before walking along a river bank. The steam train comes around the bend behind them before they paddle in the shallows of the river. The film closes with them returning to Goathland station where they board the train for home. Title - The End.
