Girls at the Chalet School request that a Guide Company is to be formed. Soon the girls are immersed in Tenderfoot tests and badgework, and sampling the delights of tracking and camp fires. But when their enthusiasm for their new interest threatens to become all-consuming, trouble ensues! With a folk festival to plan for and exams to consider, plus the usual allowance of triumphs and disasters, the pupils of the Chalet School have plenty to keep them occupied and a variety of lessons to learn.
