18 young folk and 6 leaders from the 5th Dartford Scout Group’s Phillips and Collins Cub packs went to London by train to visit the Tower Bridge Exhibition 

Tower Bridge is one of the most famous of London’s iconic landmarks and a showcase for Victorian engineering.  Having taken 8 years to build, with a workforce of 432 labourers, the bridge, which is built from Cornish granite, Portland stone and 11,000 tons of steel, finally opened for public use on 30th June 1894, providing a much needed eastern gateway between the busy East End and the South East.

After the exhibition, our young folk made their way back to our Scout hall and enjoyed a sausage and chip supper, followed by games, a film and a sleepover.

A great time was had by all.
