The scout sign – or the three-finger-salute – is usually made with the three middle fingers touching the brow while the thumb and the little finger are folded and the palm faces out.

At the scouts’ event, the stage was adorned with a huge poster of Lebanese terrorist and senior member of Hezbollah Imad Mughniyeh
