Boy Scouts

Various sources have attributed the origin of the handshake as an ancient sign of bravery and respect.

The left hand is closest to the heart and is offered as a token of friendship.

Some refer to the works of Ernest Thompson Seton, who established the Woodcraft Indians in the US in 1902.

Robert Baden-Powell was a soldier who fought against Prempeh I, a ruler of the state of Ashanti in Africa in 1895. According to some stories, Baden-Powell encountered Prempeh after a battle and greeted him with his

right hand. The chieftain offered his left hands and said: "In our land only the bravest of the brave shake hands with the left hand, because to do so we must drop our shields and protection."

From the Guide to Safe Scouting: "Boxing, karate, and related martial arts-except judo, aikido, and Tai Chi-are not authorized activities."

The requirements for Sports merit badge state that you cannot use any sport that is restricted and not authorized.
