Back at Hesley Wood: A Tank-Tastic Weekend with Mini Tanks UK!
This past weekend, the Mini Tanks UK team rolled back into Hesley Wood Scout Activity Centre – and what a weekend it was! We were thrilled to bring four of our mini tanks along to support another incredible scout camp, and let’s just say… the adrenaline, and sheer excitement didn’t disappoint.
This was our second time attending this brilliant event, and once again, the scouts and their leaders gave us the warmest welcome (and plenty of enthusiasm to match!). It’s always a pleasure to return to Hesley Wood – not just because of its stunning woodland setting and top-notch facilities, but because of the energy and spirit the scouting community brings.
Over the course of the weekend, hundreds of scouts got the chance to take the controls of our mini tanks, navigating rough terrain, learning basic vehicle handling, and working together as teams. From first-timers to returning mini tank pros, the excitement was contagious. The leaders even got stuck in too!
There were smiles all around, and lots of “when can we do that again?” questions – which we always love to hear. Whether it was conquering a challenging course or simply enjoying the thrill of driving a tank, the scouts showed incredible determination, curiosity, and courage.
As always, a huge thank you goes out to the organisers at Hesley Wood for having us back, and to all the volunteers who made the event run so smoothly. It’s an honour to be part of such a positive, confidence-building experience for young people.
We’re already looking forward to next time – and maybe even bringing more tanks along!
Until then… stay tank-tastic!
