THE SALUTE. The Cub Scout salute means you respect our

 If you are wearing your Cub Scout cap, place your two fingers on the brim.
  If you do not have on a cap, place your two fingers over your eyebrow.

.
CUB SCOUT SIGN. Make this sign with your right hand. Hold
  your arm up straight. do not bend your elbow. The two fingers stand for
 the two points of the promise: to help other people and to obey.
When you say the Cub Scout Promise or the Law of the Pack, give the Cub Scout sign.
 

THE HANDSHAKE. When you shake hands, use your right hand.
Put the first two fingers along the inside of your friend's wrist. This means
that you are brothers in Cub Scouting and that both of you help other
people and obey the Law of the Pack.

The Cub Scout colors are BLUE and GOLD

The blue stands for truth and spirituality, steadfast loyalty, and the sky above

The gold stands for warm sunlight, good cheer, and happiness

Together, they symbolize what Cub Scouting 
is all about

         EVERY boy MUST earn when entering Cub Scouts.
         The purpose is to instill in the new Cub Scout, the
