Some one please correct me if I am wrong but I was taught that the Scout handshake is given with the left hand. A regular handshake is right handed as a show that the offerer is weaponless. A scout shakes left handed because shows a bond of trust between the two scouts. Since one scout would NEVER offer personal violence to another. Again if I am incorrect please let me know, though I doubt I am. That is not to say that I am right because of my own intelligence rather as a tribute to my grandfather, a good man, a good sailor, and a great scout. I owe much if not all of the fact that I have my Eagle award to him, for which I will be eternally grateful.
Thanks,
Graham
