How:

1. Salute with your right hand.

2. Hold your fingers as you do for the Cub Scout sign.

3. Keep the two straight fingers close together.

4. Touch the tips of those fingers to your cap.

5. If you are not wearing a cap, touch your eyebrow.

Why:

A salute is a way to show respect to your leaders. It shows that you look up to them and respect them. We salute the flag to show respect to our country.

When:

You salute when you are in uniform and the National Colors pass, when you say the pledge of allegiance, or when you are formally acknowledging another Scout, especially leaders.

 

How:

1. Make the "peace" sign with your right hand

2. Hold your arm held straight up

Why:

The two fingers stand for the two parts of the Cub Scout Promise - "TO HELP OTHER PEOPLE" and "TO OBEY."

They look like a wolf’s ears ready to listen to Akela.

When:

Give the Cub Scout sign when you say the Cub Scout Promise and Law of the Pack or when Akela raises the sign to ask for silence.
