4 Bonds – MOTTO, SIGN, SALUTE & LEFT HAND SHAKE

1. MOTTO

The motto of the ranger is service. i.e. Selfless service to the

society and community. To serve the society she has to be

physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight.

When there is a call for service, a Ranger should be ready in

her mind and body for all emergencies. It means she has to be

properly trained and equipped with necessary knowledge and skill to meet the situation.

2. SIGN

The sign is made by raising your right hand palm to the front, thumb resting on

the nail of the little finger and the other fingers upright, pointing upwards. The

three fingers remain a Ranger of the 3 parts of the promise. The sign is given at

the time of taking promise during investiture ceremony and at the time of the

renewal of the guide promise. It is also used as a greeting.

3. SALUTE

Salute is given by raising the right arm smartly to

the level of the shoulder, palm to the front with the

three fingers stretched together the first touching

the forehead and the thumb closing on the little

finger. After Saluting the arm cutting to the front

is quickly and smartly brought down curling the fingers.

Salute is done as a mark of respect and good manners. All the members of the scout

guide movement around the globe salute each other once a day. The first to see the other

scout or a guide member is the first to salute irrespective of rank.

The members of the movement salute at the time of hoisting of the flag, Flag etiquette and at

the time of Visarjan (Disperse) on the closing ceremonies in a camp.

4. LEFT HAND SHAKE

The members of the movement greet each

other by shaking their left hand and saluting

each other around the world. It comes from

Ashanti tribes when once Baden Powell met

Chief of Ashanti tribes. BP saluted the chief

with his right hand but the Ashanti chief

offered his left hand and said "In our land

only the bravest of the brave shake hands with the left hand, because to do so must drop our

shields and our protection.
