The Scout Sign identifies you as a Scout everywhere in the world. Give it each
time you recite the Scout Oath and Law. The Scout sign is sometimes use to
signal attention. When a Scout leader raises a hand in the Scout sign, all others
should also make the sign and come to silent attention.
The three fingers pointing up symbolize the three points of the Oath. They
also signify that a Scout climbs upward to bigger and better things. The two
other fingers stand for the bond of brotherhood and friendship that ties all
Scouts together.
