        The Scout/Guide Sign is given by raising the Right hand in level with the shoulder, palm to the front with three fingers stretched together and thumb closing on the little finger.

The Sign is given at the time of Investiture or at the time of renewal of the Scout/Guide promise.

The Sign reminds Parts of the Promise made and forms the basis of the Salute.

The thumb covering the little finger stands for protecting the weaker people.

 

 

It is achieved by being Physically Strong, Mentally Awake, and

Morally Straight.

It also means that you are always in a state of readiness in mind and body to do your duty.

• Scout/Guide 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 one inch above the right eyebrow and thumb closing on the little finger. And after that, the arm cutting to the front is quickly and smartly down curling the fingers.

• The Salute reminds, members of the promise taken. The 3 fingers held upright represent the 3 fold Promise.

In 1896 our founder, as Colonel Baden Powell, was in Ashanti in Africa. After the conflict on entering the town was met and greeted by the African Chief. B.P. held out his right hand. The African Chief said, "No, you must shake my left hand, because only the Bravest Of The Brave Shake hands With The Left".

And also the left hand is nearer to our heart so it's given as a Hearty Shake Hand.

Today Cubs and Scouts shake hands with the left hand. It is a sign that they are all members of the Worldwide Scouting family
