The Athelings was started in 1910 when cadets from [[Australia]], [[New Zealand]] and [[Canada]] came to shoot in [[England]]. This followed by subsequent exchanges that took place through the Imperial Cadet Association, founded in 1908 by Captain RJE Hanson. These early exchanges were well received and regular exchanges where started in 1928. This was also the period in which the term "Athelings" was introduced by Hanson to describe the members of the teams who go overseas to represent their country. [[Ætheling]] was an [[Old English]] word meaning "young noble". |
