What is the Scottish Youth Parliament?
The Scottish Youth Parliament is the democratically elected voice of Scotland's young people. Elections are held every two years, in which young people from all across Scotland stand as candidates to become Members of the Scottish Youth Parliament (MSYPs). MSYPs range in age from 14 to 25 and represent constituencies in all 32 local authorities throughout the country, and several national voluntary organisations. SYP was established on 30 June 1999, making us one day older than the Scottish Parliament.
