This is a film of girl guides from Sheffield who attend the Dore Scouts Gala and make other trips, including to a large campsite in some woods attended by Lady Olave Baden-Powell. The guides make model boats and some large water craft out of timber which they row on a river. Some boys watch a procession of scouts and girl guides led by a marching band, with streamers hanging overhead. Several groups pass by, including another marching scout band that stop to perform at the end of the procession. The groups disperse among the on-looking spectators. There is a fancy dress competition. The film moves to an adventure playground where a boy goes up a climbing frame to a rope slide. A placard proclaims 'Dore Scouts Gala Today'. Another states: 'Come to the Well Dressing'. Some people are milling around a well dressing, reading the text that accompanies it. The procession moves off again through some streets, again led by the marching scout band. The film moves to some girl guides putting up a tent and sawing some logs in a field with several other tents. The girl guides are then having some lunch up on a hill in the countryside. They are relaxing against a wall in their kagools. Back at the camp they are putting on a play dressed in home-made historical costume. They are then grouped in a circle while sitting on the ground eating, with their kit bags all packed. Next they have some races, including a sack race, after which several of the guides gather around admiring some model boats. They are then out in the countryside next to a river, and a group of guides walk away from a large building huddled together. Some guides are making a water craft out of logs and string, which they carry to the river and launch. There are at least two such craft which the guides row on the river. Back at the camp they erect some long flag poles, being filmed by an adult. A group of guides carry some buckets of water before they hoist a flag which they stand around saluting. They collect their water from a water pump and carry more over to the camp. They start cooking and set out their beds in the open air. The film then switches to the guides in swimming costumes on a beach and jumping about in the sea. The film is then taken from on board a boat filming the coast. They disembark from the boat and feed some geese on a pond. Two guides sit on a horse and trap. There is another camp with various youth organisations. There is harbour, possibly Scarborough. Back at the camp the guides are washing up the cooking utensils and packing away the tents. They are then foraging in the woods. The model boats that the guides have made are set out onto a pond or river, and again they launch their bigger craft and set out on the water, propelling themselves with long sticks. At the camp the guides have some lunch and again assemble around the flag pole. Some prepare dinner. One guide seems to be receiving a prize of some kind. They form a long line and do a conga dance and some put on another performance wearing odd costumes. They take a coach trip to a wood where there is another campsite and where they have lunch - there is a sign (difficult to read). They are then back on a beach. The camp in the wood is now full of youth organisations that have assembled and are visited by an elderly woman in uniform, probably the Chief Guide, Lady Olave Baden-Powell, who walks around greeting the guides. There is a long red banner (difficult to read). They all gather around to hear Lady Olave Baden-Powell give a speech, followed by other dignitaries. Three guides then lead a procession off carrying a flag and the film comes to an end.
