Taceham Hundred District

On 6th April - the day the 2010 general election was called by Gordon Brown, the Axford Explorers went to London for a tour around the Houses of Parliament.

We visited the House of Lords, and the House of Commons, standing next to the dispatch box where the Prime Minister makes his important announcements.

The day was completed with a quick visit to lots of tourist attractions including Buckingham Palace, 10 Downing Street, Trafalgar Square, China Town and most importantly Hamley's one of the worlds biggest toy shops!

Prepare for adventure and to go back 900 years to a mystical time of knights and dragons, castles and jousting tournaments. We're holding a medieval-themed District camp at the end of May 2010. The camp will take place at Wasing Park, near Aldermaston.

Taceham Hundred District invites all its members to the camp. Cubs, Scouts and Explorers will camp for three days (Friday 28- Monday 31 May 2010); Beavers will visit for a whole day of adventure (Sunday 30 May).

The weekend's programme will revolve around a number of zones, including Alchemy, Armoury and the Forge. There'll be the opportunity to lock your leaders up in the stocks, you'll be able to shoot arrows (just like Robin Hood), and we may even see a damsel in distress at the top of the tower. Visit the blacksmith and make fire, enjoy the medieval banquet and enjoy the quest to find a dragon!
