Girl Guides Go Camping at the Seaside


This record of a Girl Guide camping trip is from of a collection of 9.5mm films of the Unwin Family. The coastal location is unknown, although possibly Southwold. Whatever the destination, the girls have a great time at camp, although most of the time is spent on the beach. It's the 1920s and every girl teams their swimsuit with a swimming cap, and inflatables are certainly popular – everyone jumps on the lilo!
