A Step by Step Guide on Signing Up for Young Scot Membership

Want a Young Scot Membership? Here’s how to sign up for an account!

What does being a Young Scot Member include?

Become a Young Scot Member to discover additional Discounts, Rewards and opportunities available and tailored for you. All you need is your Young Scot card and your mygovscot myaccount to get started!

Unfortunately, due to data protection laws under 12’s will no longer be able to access Young Scot Rewards ?. We appreciate this is disappointing and are working hard to find a solution. The good news is that on your 12th birthday you’ll be able to register for a Young Scot Membership account! 

All ‘show and go discounts’ are available to all cardholders including 11 year olds.
