million former Scouts and Is used by million present Scouts As Lord BadenPowell wrote Our badge we took from the NorthPoint used on maps for orienting them with north Lady Baden- Powell said later It shows the true way to go So the emblem helps remind a Scout that he is to be as true and reliable as a compass in keeping to his Scouting ideals and In showing the way to others In Scouting the three tips of the emblem represent the three main points of the Scout Oath or Scout Promise The two fivepointed stars represent the original 10 points of the Law and in some countries they also stand for truth and knowledge The World Scout Emblem utilizes the arrowhead surrounded by a rope in a circle tied with a reef or square knot to the unity and World Brotherhood throughout the Scout Movement The arrowhead and rope are white on a background of royal purple the colours chosen by the Founder In heraldry purity is the virtue most frequently symbolized by white while the royal purple denotes
