Volunteer with us at the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo 2026

South East Scotland Scouts has been part of the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo since the very first show in 1950 — and this summer, we’re looking for Explorer Scouts and Young Leaders to join the team.

Programme sellers work on the Castle Esplanade, meeting the Tattoo’s home and international audience before each performance. It’s a unique experience — and it counts toward DofE and badge work too.

What’s involved 
6–7 nights between 6th–29th August 2026 Weeknights: 7:15pm–9:45pm Saturdays: 4:45pm–9:45pm
