To do my duty to God[1] and my country,
To help other people at all times,
And to obey the Scout/Guide Law.
[1] – The word “Dharma” may be substituted for the word “God” if so desired.

THE SCOUT SIGN

The Scout sign identifies you as a Scout anywhere in the world. Use it whenever you give the Scout Oath or Scout Law.
The hand is still held palm facing out, and the thumb holding the little finger, but the hand is held at the shoulder
The three upraised fingers stand for the three parts of the Scout Oath. The thumb and little finger together stand for the bond between all Scouts.

Scout Motto

  • Cubs/Bulbuls – Koshish Karo (Do your best)
  • Scouts/Guides – Taiyar (Be Prepared)
  • Rovers/Rangers – Seva (Service)
how to achieve this motto?
By being physically strong, morally straight and mentally awake.

   left hand shake

The left-handed Scout handshake is a formal way of greeting other Scouts of both genders used by members of Scout and Guide organizations around the world when greeting other Scouts. The handshake is made with the hand nearest the heart and is offered as a token of friendship. In most situations, the handshake is made firmly, without interlocking fingers, and many organizations only use this handshake when both people are in uniform.

      Meaning of the left-hand

Various sources have attributed the origin of the handshake, as an ancient sign of bravery and respect, to Lord Baden-Powell‘s encounter after battle with Prempeh I, or to earlier published works by Ernest Thompson Seton. There exist various versions of the Prempeh story, all centering around African warriors using the left hand to hold their shields and to lower it and shake the left hand of the person was to show they trusted each other.
According to the Ashanti warrior version of the story, then-Colonel Baden-Powell saluted them with his right hand, but the Ashanti chiefs offered their left hands and said, “In our land only the bravest of the brave shake hands with the left hand, because to do so we must drop our shields and our protection.” The Ashantis knew of Baden-Powell’s bravery because they had fought against him and with him, and they were proud to offer the left hand of bravery.
The left hand is also closer to the heart, with that attendant symbology.

4 GOOD TURN DIARY

What Is a Good Turn?

A Good Turn is a volunteered kind act of good deed.  Boys must be encouraged to watch for things that need to be done, and then do them without being asked.  More, boys must be trained and educated into the Good Turn Habit.  They must be helped to see that doing a job which they are already supposed to do, even cheerfully , ought not be classed as doing a Good Turn. 
Performing the regular routine duties about the home is not a Good Turn.  The Good Turn is a bigger finer thing–the Good Turn is really a philosophy of living, of which Service to others becomes the key.  A good Turn is a volunteered kind act or deed.  If you can  stimulate a boy so that such actions become habitual, then you have made the Good Turn Philosophy work in his life. 
Such a process is a process of education, and will not be accomplished except by careful planning and by presenting the matter again and again under all sort of circumstances, and by yourself setting up and keeping in operation certain sorts of activities which will help the boy catch the idea and experience the thrill of the real Good Turn.
