Young Scot card

Apply for or renew a Young Scot card

The Young Scot Scheme works in partnership with Scottish councils to give support, opportunities and incentives to young people aged 11 to 26. From January 2022, incentives include free bus travel for young people under 22-years of age. However, even if you have a Young Scot Card, you will need to apply for a new or replacement card.
