    Ideals of Scouting

    The Scout Trefoil


    The trefoil, which is the main part of the Scout Badge, is the threepointed 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.

    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.
