The Emirates Scout Association (Arabic: جمعية كشافة الإمارات) is the national Scouting organization of the United Arab Emirates.

Scouting was extant in Sharjah by 1957, and in Umm al-Qiwain prior to 1971.
The Scout Motto is Kun Musta'idan or كن مستعداً, translating as Be Prepared in Arabic.
The noun for a single Scout is Kashaf or كشاف in Arabic.
