The issuing authority

Sharjah issued its own postage stamps from 1963, during the Trucial States period, before the emirates formed the United Arab Emirates in 1971–72. Emirates Post is the postal administration of the successor state.

Scouting

There was no separate WOSM member for Sharjah. Scouting in the emirates is organised today by the Emirates Scout Association, founded in 1972 and a WOSM member since 1977.
