President Aric Gilinsky Chairman James Reekie Treasurer Max Clark Secretary Stephen MacSporran Founded 2005 Ideology Conservatism Mother party Conservative Party International affiliation International Young Democrat Union Website Official website Conservative Future Scotland (CFS) is the youth wing of the Scottish Conservative Party.[1]
The organisation formed in early 2005 by the merger of the Scottish Young Conservatives and the Scottish Conservative and Unionist Students (SCUS) group, a process which had happened with its sister organisation in the rest of the United Kingdom - Conservative Future - in 1998. Its membership comprises all of the Scottish Conservative Party's members under the age of 30[2] or who are currently in higher education. The organisation forms itself into University Conservative and Unionist Associations and area Conservative Future branches with a National Executive and a number of elected regional area officers.
CFS is autonomous from Conservative Future, the central Conservative Party body that operates in the rest of the UK. However delegates from the Scottish organisation do attend the annual CF conference.
