Scottish Young Conservatives

The Scottish Young Conservatives (SYC) is the youth wing of the Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party for members aged 25 and under. The organisation shares the same values and policies as its parent political party with branches being an integrated part of local associations. SYC is both social and political, aiming to bring together young conservatives and encouraging young people to get involved in campaigning.

Unlike Young Conservatives (UK), SYC has an elected executive board, consisting of 3 national officers, Chair, National Campaigns Coordinator and Secretary, and 3 Regional Chairs. The organisation has formed itself into three regions. Within the regions University Conservative and Unionist Associations sit under the local Conservative branches.

SYC is the independent sister organisation of Young Conservatives (UK), the central Conservative Party body that operates in the rest of the UK.

The first elections were held in March 2019 and saw Michael Bow [1] elected to the post of National Chair. Orhan Ahmed was elected to the post of National Campaigns Coordinator and Elizabeth Bolt was elected to the position of National Secretary. Emma Farquhar, Heather Aird and Ben Callaghan were elected as Regional Chairs for North, East and West, respectively.
