Scout Moto

"Be prepared." 

Scout Slogan

Do a good turn daily. 

Scout Law

"A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent." 

"On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; to help other people at all time; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight." 

Scout Sign

Cover the nail of the little finger on your right hand with your right thumb, then raise your right arm bent in a 90 degree angle, and hold the three middle fingers of your right hand upward.

Scout Salute

Form the Scout Sign with your right hand and bring that hand upward until your forefinger touches the brim of your hat or the arch of your right eyebrow, without the palm of your hand showing. 

Scout Handshake

Extend your left hand to another Scout and firmly grasp his left hand, without interlocking the fingers.
