Folke Bernadotte, 1895-1948, leader of the swedish scouts movement saluting three boy scouts in the traditional salute way doing the Scout promise. Baden-Powell introduced the Scout Promise, as follows:[1] Before he becomes a scout, a boy must take the scout's oath, thus: 'On my honour I promise that— I will do my duty to God and the King. I will do my best to help others, whatever it costs me. I know the scout law, and will obey it.' While taking this oath the scout will stand, holding his right hand raised level with his shoulder, palm to the front, thumb resting on the nail of the little finger and the other three fingers upright, pointing upwards: This is the scout's salute and secret sign.
