The Scout sign shows you are a Scout. Give it each time you
recite the Scout Oath and Law. When a Scout or Scouter
raises the Scout sign, all Scouts should make the sign, too,
and come to silent attention.
To give the Scout sign, cover the nail of the little finger
of your right hand with your right thumb, then raise your
right arm, bent in a 90-degree angle, and hold the three
middle fingers of your hand upward. Those fingers stand for
the three parts of the Scout Oath. Your thumb and little
finger touch to represent the bond that unites Scouts
throughout the world.
