Good film about boy scouts on a camping trip at Wisley Park in Surrey.
M/S of the scouts walking through woodland in the snow, fresh snow is falling, they are carrying rucksacks Although they are wearing coats and berets they look very cold with just shorts to cover the top half of their legs....
Good film about boy scouts on a camping trip at Wisley Park in Surrey.
M/S of the scouts walking through woodland in the snow, fresh snow is falling, they are carrying rucksacks Although they are wearing coats and berets they look very cold with just shorts to cover the top half of their legs.
The narrator tells us that the scouts are from the 2nd Westminster and 20th Ealing troop. Nice M/S of a robin watching the scouts build their camp. Various shots follow of the scouts collecting branches for the fire, erecting tents, and collecting snow to use for water. Two scouts prepare for some orienteering one holds a map while the other holds a compass, they walk off.
Finally, a M/S of two scouts talking, they are taken by surprise by snowball that hits one of them on the back of the head. This starts off a snowball fight between many more of the scouts.
Note: good footage illustrating Britain in the middle of the freezing winter of 1963; see also other stories in this issue - SL.

The death penalty has been carried out in almost all societies and although these images from WWI and WWII are unsettling, they still provide a raw account of events from a certain time.
The images taken from inside Buchenwald Concentration Camp after its Liberation show us what it was like; it tells us what happened and forces us to remember.
The great politician and orator Winston Churchill left behind a sea of humourous quips and discerning quotes. We remember some of his finest epigrams and witty ripostes.
WW2 accounted for over 60m deaths and innumerable lives shattered. Pathé cameras took to land, sea and air to record the bloodshed. Here are the 10 bloodiest battles that were caught on film.
Life before health and safety laws; men worked at huge heights, balancing on girders and cranes all in order to help build the world's tallest skyscrapers.
Over its history, the Pathe cameras filmed a number of people who had committed heinous crimes. So in no particular order, these images show ten faces of truly evil men and women.
