Scout Sign

The Scout Sign

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.

Scout Trefoil

The Scout Trefoil

The trefoil, which is the main part of the Scout Badge, 
is the three pointed portion. 

Each point represents one of the three points of the Scout Oath: 
Duty to God and Country, 
Duty to Others, and 
Duty to Self.

The single band joining the three points of the trefoil symbolizes 
unity and universal brotherhood.

The three stars symbolize the ideals of 
Faith, Truth, and Knowledge, 
the foundations of Scout citizenship. 
They also represent the stars under which we sleep under during camps.

The scroll with the Scout Motto is turned up at its end like a smile. 
It reminds us that a Scout is Cheerful.

The rope forming a simple overhand knot reminds us 
to do a good turn daily, no matter how simple it is.

Tumupad sa aking tungkulin sa Diyos at

Pamalagiing malakas ang aking katawan,
