Conservative Future Scotland (CFS) is the youth wing of the Scottish Conservative Party.

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 or who are currently in higher education. The organisation forms itself into three regions, each with its own executive. Within the regions University Conservative and Unionist Associations and area Conservative Future branches organise at the local level.

CFS is the independent sister organisation of Conservative Future, the central Conservative Party body that operates in the rest of the UK.

The Conservative Party itself, following the 2017 General Election, has 13 Westminster MPs with a seat in Scotland.

The 2016/17 Elections were held in December 2016 and saw James Bundy elected to the post of National Chair. Max Bannerman was elected to the post of National Treasurer and Stephen Caulfield was elected to the position of National Secretary. The organisation has not held an election since this date.
