An album of the Girl Guides at various "District Camps" at Whippingham, Isle of Wight and at Bournemouth and other locations in Western England. Locations, activities, and the names of officers and guides are well-captioned beneath each image. The Guides are shown playing games, in tents, at the beach, at meal time, and in makeshift camp kitchens.
