The three-finger salute is used by members of Scout and Guide organizations around the world when greeting other Scouts and in respect of a national flag at ceremonies. In most situations, the salute is made with the right hand, palm face out, the thumb holding down the little finger, and with the fingertips on the brow of the head. There are some variations of the salute between national Scouting organizations and also within some programme sections. 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. Other organizations with historical ties to Scouting such as Alpha Phi Omega and Scouts Royale Brotherhood use it as well. == Meaning of the three fingers == In his book, ''Scouting for Boys'', Robert Baden-Powell chose the three-finger salute for Scouts to represent the three aspects of the Scout Promise: :1. Honor God and Country :2. Help Others :3. Obey the Scout Law 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Scout sign and salute」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
