The Emirates Scout Association serves as the national Scouting organization of the United Arab Emirates. Scouting was established in the UAE in 1972 and joined the World Organization of the Scout Movement in 1977. As of 2011, it counted 5,522 members. Scouting had roots in several emirates before unification, with established presence in Sharjah by 1957 and in Umm al-Qaiwain before 1971.
The national Scout camp is located in Sharjah. Scouts actively participate in regional and global Scouting events, collaborating with other Gulf states in Wood Badge training. The Scout Motto, "Kun Musta'idan", translates to "Be Prepared" in Arabic.
Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan (1948–2022), the UAE's second president and ruler of Abu Dhabi from November 2004 to May 2022, was the eldest son of the UAE's first president, Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan. He took on a significant role in the late 1990s due to his father's health issues and officially became Abu Dhabi's leader in 2004. His tenure saw cultural and academic growth, including the Louvre Abu Dhabi and Etihad Airways. Under his leadership, the UAE became a major economic power. Known for his pro-Western stance, he strengthened ties with the US and Israel.
