The three-point design of the top half is like the north point of an old sailor's compass. This shows that a Scout is able to point the right way in life as truly as the compass points it in the field. | ||||
The three points are like the three fingers used in the Scout sign. They stand for the three parts of the Scout Oath: duty to God & country; duty to others; duty to yourself. | ||||
The two stars stand for truth and knowledge of the Scouting movement. They guide you by night and suggest a Scout's outdoor life. | ||||
The shield or national emblem of the US stands for freedom and readiness to defend that freedom. | ||||
The scroll is turned up at the ends to suggest the corners of a Scout's mouth raised in a smile as he does his duty. The Scout motto is printed across the scroll. | ||||
The knot attached to the bottom of the scroll is to remind you that as a Boy Scout, you promise to do a good turn daily. |
