The Scout sign identifies
you as a Scout anywhere in the world. Use it whenever you give the Scout Oath
or Scout Law.
The hand
is still held palm facing out, and the thumb holding the little finger, but the
hand is held at the shoulder
The three
upraised fingers stand for the three parts of the Scout Oath. The thumb and
little finger together stand for the bond between all Scouts.
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
