The programme

Four ways one badge reached every child.

A joined-up phygital campaign, digital reading, physical collectibles, real-world moments and one unforgettable prize.

01

The YATS Library

Free digital Chapters set in the Scotland world, children read, collect Bookmarks and earn rewards, with the national team at the heart of every story.

02

Bookmarks in schools

Physical collectible Bookmarks distributed through school reading programmes, each one a QR gateway into the Library and a personalised book.

03

Matchday pop-ups

Pop-up shops at Hampden and fan zones where families collect Bookmarks in person and start building their child's book on the spot.

04

The Golden Ticket

One Bookmark in every run hides a Golden Ticket. The winning child becomes a matchday mascot, walking out at Hampden with the team.

The Golden Ticket

One Bookmark. One mascot. Every single game.

Hidden in each Bookmark run is a Golden Ticket. The child who finds it walks out of the tunnel at Hampden as the official matchday mascot, turning a reading reward into the moment of a lifetime.

  • A reading reward that money can't buy
  • National-team activation, every matchday
  • Priceless earned media & family joy

The moment every run is built around
Bookmarks travel through school reading programmes. Each one opens the Library and gives reluctant readers a reason to race through Chapters.
Built for classrooms
Families collect Bookmarks at Hampden pop-ups and fan zones. Every Bookmark starts a personalised book and a bedtime full of Chapters.
