Boy Scouts of America. The Scout Sign is performed with the upper arm parallel to the ground and the forearm vertical, forming a right angle at the elbow. The Scout Sign is used when reciting any of the ideals of the BSA such as the Scout Oath and Scout Law. It is also used to gain the attention of the group.

A "half-salute", known as the Scout Sign, is also used in certain situations. The hand is still held palm facing out, and the thumb holding the little finger, but the hand is held at the shoulder instead. ... The Scout Sign is used while making or reaffirming the Beaver Scout, Cub Scout or Scout Promise and at no other time.

Scouting is an international movement found in almost every corner of the globe. Our 173 Member Organizations, also known as National Scout Organizations, are at the forefront of efforts to promote peace, sustainability, and mutual understanding by empowering young people as active citizens and future leaders in their communities.

The Scout Salute is the same but held to the forehead rather than vertically, and is used to Salute the Union Flag, section/group colours, or at funerals or the National Anthem. [6] The Baden-Powell Scouts' Association uses both the three and two fingered salutes.
