On a summer camp, Boy Scouts from Colwyn Bay's Rydal School eat corned beef sandwiches and create stylish headgear from handkerchiefs.

Rydal School, a boys' boarding school in Colwyn Bay, formed its first Scout troop in 1925, and teacher L V 'Toc' Turner is probably the scoutmaster seen in this film, wearing full uniform despite the heat which has led the boys to create makeshift headcoverings from handkerchiefs and tea towels. Piles of corned beef sandwiches feed the hungry horde which later cools down in the river at the camp at Coed Coch, Dolwen, Conwy.

Rydal's headmaster, the Rev A J Costain, was appointed the local County Commissioner in 1929, indicating his involvement with the Scout movement. Camping on the Coed Coch estate at Dolwen, Colwyn Bay, Conwy, was available to the school and other troops as the estate's owner was sympathetic to the aims of the movement. Rydal Scouts also used the Parc Mawr camp at Rowen, Conwy, which was opened to the area's Scout troops in 1931. Rydal merged with Penrhos College, a girls' boarding school also situated in Colwyn Bay, in 1995 and Rydal Penrhos School operates from the Rydal site.
