The Sign & Salute |
![]() |
The Guide Sign is given at the making of the Promise or as a greeting. Guides also give the sign when they're in mufti but they must be wearing a form of Guide identification like the Trefoil, the World Badge or a Guide T-shirt. The sign is made by raising your right hand to shoulder level, palm to the front, thumb resting on the nail of the little finger and the other three fingers together pointing upwards. The three fingers represent the Three-Fold Promise. The Guide Salute is given by enrolled members in full uniform as a sign of respect : at the breaking of colours ; at an Enrolment Ceremony ; at a presentation of awards ceremony ; when then World Flag is carried ceremonially ; when greeting members of the Guide and Scout Movements ; and at the playing of the National Anthem Guides will obey the orders of the person-in-charge with regards to saluting. Guides shake hands with one another with the left hand. The left hand is closer to the heart therefore the left handshake symbolises friendship. |
