We join a Boy's Brigade company as they travel by train to Camber Sands on the Sussex coast. The boys wash, cook and play outdoors at the campsite, then, accompanied by adult officers, they head for the beach – dashing into the sea. After kit inspection, the boys board coaches taking them to another resort and a beach picnic, followed by sailing and horse-riding. Officers prepare and cook meals on open fires while the boys peel potatoes. Before long it's time to return home.
