scout salute
Pledge with fingers
A scout salute is the hand gesture used by members of scouting organizations—three middle fingers raised, thumb holding the pinky down, hand brought to the forehead.
The three fingers represent the three parts of the Scout Promise.
It serves as both a greeting between scouts and a formal salute during ceremonies: The troop gave the scout salute as the flag was raised.
