Emirates Scout Association

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

[2] Scouting was previously founded in several of the individual emirates prior to unification.

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.

The 1990s-2009 emblem incorporated both the emblem and the flag of the United Arab Emirates
