THE ROYAL EDINBURGH MILITARY TATTOO 2025

Come celebrate The Heroes Who Made Us, as the Tattoo turns 75!

The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo is the most spectacular show in the world, enjoyed by an international television audience of 100 million.

But there’s no substitute for being there, as part of the 217,000 strong audience over its three- week run at Edinburgh Castle. As a member of Scouting, you can become part of it.

The Scout Association in Edinburgh has been part of this fantastic experience since the first Tattoo in 1950 and you could be part of its magic, particularly in this special 75th year!

We are looking for enthusiastic and confident Explorer Scouts and Young Leaders to be part of the sales team to sell programmes on the stands at the Castle Esplanade to the Tattoo’s home and international audience as they go to their seats.

You will need to be available for about six or seven nights between 31 July and 23 August 2025.

You will be on duty from 7.15 pm until approximately 9.45pm on weeknights and from 4.45pm – 9.45pm on a Saturday.

Explorers and Young Leaders can possibly use the event to complete sections of their badge work or towards a section of their Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme.

As a “thank you” from the Tattoo each Explorer and Young Leader will receive a unique gift.

If you are interested, then please complete the form below and return it by email to Sue.timmins@sesscouts.org.uk by 30 June 2025.
