Scout Salute
The three-finger
salute is used by members of Scout and Guide organizations around the
world when greeting other Scouts and in respect of a national flag at
ceremonies. In most situations, the salute is made with the palm face out, the
thumb holding down the little finger, and with the fingertips on the brow of
the head.
Meaning of the three fingers
In his
book, Scouting for Boys, Robert Baden-Powell chose the three-finger
salute for Scouts to represent the three aspects of the Scout Promise:
1. Honour
God and the King
2. Help
Others
3. Obey
the Scout Law
