Boy Scout Salute


For the Boy Scout Salute, make the Scout Sign with your right hand and place your index finger onto the outer corner of your right eyebrow.  If wearing and official scout hat, place your index finger onto the brim of the hat.

When do you use the Scout Salute?... During flag ceremonies, salute the flag of the United States of America.  Also, you may salute the Flag as you pass by it, or when it passes you for any reason (parades are a good example).  You may also salute fellow Scouts and Scout Leaders as a respective greeting.

Remember... if at a scouting activity and not in your uniform during a flag ceremony, use the traditional method of placing your right hand over your heart and remove all hats unless it is part of your uniform.
