Summary

Pathe synopsis: The Girl Guides movement is changing too. Formed nearly sixty years ago, the Guides today have a modern approach and image. Years ago it might have all seemed to be just marches and camps. Now adventurous exercises like rock climbing, canoeing and even ski-ing and gliding are all part of the programme. The back-woodsman stunt of preparing meals without utensils is something new too. And a 36-year-old tradition has been broken. For the first time the girls have stormed that all-make bastion "The Gang Show". The gorgeous Guides have joined the Gang.
