Scouting Pledge of Allegiance, Nazi salute for Girl Scouts & Boy Scouts in the USA

Girl Scouts & Boy Scouts (from 1907) and other Americans helped spread the USA's "Nazi" salute worldwide, and the swastika, and robotic chanting to flags in military formation.  http://rexcurry.net/pledge-of-allegiance-scouting.html

This is also an example of how the American stiff arm salute was spreading beyond use in the Pledge of Allegiance, where it developed from 1892. In the USA, children would dress in uniforms (scouts), wave flags, and were forced to perform the stiff arm salute in government schools that imposed segregation and taught racism, and it occurred long before the behavior was adopted in Germany's Hitler Youth (and by Young Pioneers in the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics).

It is frightening to note that the Scouts also used the swastika symbol, including a badge with the swastika. Here

More on the Boy Scouts swastika http://rexcurry.net/scouts-swastika-thanks-badge-scouting.gif

It is interesting to note that early examples of the Boy Scout swastikas were yellow and in the same S-letter direction as the swastika of the 45th Infantry Division. It is not clear which one predates the other.   

Because the word "scouting" begins with the letter "S," the use of the swastika symbol in Scouting is consistent with the symbol's alphabetical symbolism for the letter "S" and S-symbolism in their sibilant speech sounds.

That means they were dashing about the globe (including Germany) wearing paramilitary uniforms with swastikas, doing stiff-arm salutes, waving flags, and (in the USA) chanting mechanically to flags with the pledge's early stiff arm salute, years before, and leading up and beyond the creation of the National Socialist German Workers Party.

Many of those young men eventually joined the USA's military or they were forced to join via involuntary servitude in the draft.

It helps to explain why similar behavior occurred in the USA's military.

Even before World War I, scouting influenced romantic youth folklore movements like the German Wandervögel.  The German Wandervogel was influenced by  the stiff-arm salute and robotic chanting (to flags and to other people) that was already in use scouts in the United States. http://rexcurry.net/pledge-allegiance-pledge-allegiance2.jpg

Scouting's use of the swastika (which also occurred in the United States) eventually became popular in the Wandervogel in Germany. And later, with Hitler Youth. http://rexcurry.net/pledge-of-allegiance-scouting.html

Etymologically, Wandervogel refers to a migratory bird (and the symbol of such a bird was also used as an emblem in the group).


Many articles have been written by ignorant people about the swastika. The articles often cite many reference books and some of those reference books are popularly considered "reputable." For example a recent article about the swastika cited the Brittanica Concise Encyclopedia and a popular dictionary. Each reference work that was cited had repeated the error of describing the "swastika" as having been used by the "Nazi Party."

Here is a letter that is often sent in regard to ignorant articles such as that described in the paragraph above: The Germans did not call the symbol a "swastika," they called it a "Hakenkreuz" or "hooked cross."  The German group mentioned did not call themselves "Nazis," they were the National Socialist German Workers Party and called themselves "National Socialists."  Thus, the terms "swastika" and "Nazi Party" in regard to that group at that time causes confusion for the un-informed.  It also perpetuates ignorance about another fascinating point: the German symbol was sometimes used as crossed S-letters for "Socialism" under German National Socialism.  See the work of the symbologist / cryptologist Dr. Rex Curry (author of "Swastika Secrets"). http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-swastika.html

The Pledge of Allegiance was published in The Youth’s Companion, September 8, 1892, p. 446, with this wording: “I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands: one Nation indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all.”

The wording of the 1892 pledge was originally the twenty-two words above, but the word “to” preceding “the Republic” was added immediately after the first celebration. The First National Flag Conference, 1923, altered the wording from “my Flag” to “the Flag of the United States,” and the following year the Second National Flag Conference added “of America” to that phrase.—Miller, op. cit., pp. 156–58.

Public Law 79–287, December 28, 1945, made this officially the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. Public Law 83–396, signed on Flag Day, June 14, 1954, added the phrase “under God.”


Francis Bellamy, author of the Pledge of Allegiance, was a self-proclaimed socialist who promoted a dogma known as "military socialism." Bellamy was also chairman of a committee to form a World Congress of Youth at the Columbia Exposition in Chicago in 1893. See the article from the Daily Gleaner on August 22, 1892 at http://rexcurry.net/francis-bellamy-daily-gleaner-kingston-jamaica.jpg
The World's Youth Congress Auxiliary (or World Congress Auxiliary) asked The Youth's Companion magazine (where Francis Bellamy worked) to organize the scheme. A. F. Nightingale was president of the Youth's World Congress. In January 1892, in preparation for the World's Columbian Fair, the Youth’s Companion also became the manager for the National Public School Celebration of Columbus Day on October 11, 1892.
http://rexcurry.net/pledge-of-allegiance-scouting.html

The international angle for Bellamy's World Youth Congress is one of the reasons why Bellamy's original pledge did not reference the "flag of the United States of America." Bellamy wrote his pledge so that it could be used in any country. He wanted to spread military socialism worldwide.

The official ground breaking for the Columbian Exposition was planned for Columbus Day in 1892, the day around which James Upham of the Youth's Companion organized the Public School Celebration to include the placement of flags in government schools and the promotion of the Pledge of Allegiance.

The early pledge began with a military salute that was then extended toward the flag. It extended military salute from the Pledge of Allegiance was the origin of the salute adopted later by the National Socialist German Workers Party (see the work of the historian Dr. Rex Curry, author of "Pledge of Allegiance Secrets"). 
http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-pledge.html

It played a role in how Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and scouting in general spread swastikas, Nazi salutes and robotic chanting to flags from the United States to other countries around the world (including Hitler Youth under the National Socialist German Workers Party and Young Pioneers under the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics). http://rexcurry.net/pledge-of-allegiance-scouting.html

James Gilbert states: The Chicago Fair linked the utopian speculations of the late nineteenth century, particularly as expressed by Edward Bellamy (cousin to Francis Bellamy) and William Dean Howells, to the City Beautiful movement of the first decade of the twentieth century which redesigned cities following the the layout of the Fair (256). The layout of the fair was called the great "white city."

Gilbert observes that the project allowed the architects to create, “bridges between utopian planning and notions of the perfected city and the actual plans of urban architects, road-builders and transportation designers” (256). The exhibition’s designs laid the groundwork for the subsequent “House Beautiful” movement in American architecture.

The architectural choices were condemned by some critics, including one of the designers involved; Louis Sullivan later predicted, “the damage wrought by the World's Fair will last for half a century from its date, if not longer” (Chicago Historical Society).

There are ominous parallels to later plans under the National Socialist German Workers Party, the Union of  Soviet Socialist Republics, and the People's Republic of China.

Altogether, 46 nations presented 250,000 displays. It was intended to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Columbus’ discovery of the New World.

The fair was an enormous undertaking. It lasted six months. It was constructed on reclaimed swampland, bordering Lake Michigan. The fair included the first-ever Ferris wheel. It stood 250 feet tall and rotated 36 cars, each able to hold up to 60 people.

Chicago won out over proposals from New York City, Washington, DC, and St. Louis for the privilege of hosting. When the World’s Columbian Exposition opened on May 1, 1893, the Chicago was just 60 years old. It was the last world’s fair of the 19th century. 

Today the only building from the "white city" (as it was called) still standing is the old palace of fine arts. It's since been converted into the city of Chicago's Museum of Science.

What happened to all the other buildings? After the Exposition officially closed, there was a big railway strike in the city of Chicago, and in the ensuing rioting, most of the 'white city' went up in flames. Whatever did not burn to the ground was demolished. The land was leveled. Later, the area was used for various purposes - first athletic fields, then a U.S. Army missile range, and then for a long period of time it was just a big flat reclaimed swampland with weeds. Now the reclaimed swampland is called a "nature preserve." Within only a couple of generations, the Columbian Exposition slid into the dustbin of history.

...............................

During the bidding for the World's Fair of 1893, Chicago proponents/politicians put on a rather verbose (windy) campaign to win the bid to host the fair. The choice was down to Chicago, New York, Washington and St. Louis, and the competition before Congress among the cities was fierce. The New York Sun editor Charles Dana wrote: "Don't pay attention to the nonsensical claims of that windy city. Its people could not build a world's fair even if they won it." (Source: Chicago Days, by the Chicago Tribune staff). Although the term "windy city" had been used before regarding Chicago, it had been a reference to its weather. This was the first time it was used regarding long-winded political claims and it grew because papers located in New York and in the other competing towns used the term repeatedly with that meaning.  The socialistic bombasity and machinations from Francis Bellamy and Edward Bellamy provided further justification for the nickname. http://rexcurry.net/pledgespeech.html

THE BELLAMY SALUTE & THE BELLAMY SWASTIKA

Pledge of Allegiance http://rexcurry.net/i-pledge-allegiance-to-the-flag.jpg Pledge Of Allegiance
I pledge allegiance to the flag fascists nazis socialists authoritarians totalitarians


New discoveries show that Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts, beginning as early as 1907, influenced the use of the Nazi salute and the swastika symbol worldwide. As a consequence, the swastika and the stiff-arm salute became symbols of socialism around the world.
http://rexcurry.net/pledge-of-allegiance-scouting.html

The discoveries are in the growing body of work by the historian Dr. Rex Curry (author of "Swastika Secrets") who has previously shown how socialists in the USA originated the modern swastika as overlapping "S" letters for "Socialists" joining together in a utopian "Socialist Society." The swastika symbol had previously been a generic ancient symbol.

Even today, scouts "present the colors" of the flag in ceremonies, just as they did after 1892 (when the scouts used the stiff-armed American salute, also known as the "Bellamy salute").

The early scout behavior is an example of how the American stiff arm salute was spreading beyond use in the Pledge. In the USA, children would dress in uniforms (scouts), wave flags, and were forced to perform the stiff arm salute in government schools that imposed segregation and taught racism, and it occurred long before the behavior was adopted in Germany's Hitler Youth (and by Young Pioneers in the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics).
http://rexcurry.net/scouting-calgaric-lithuanian-klaipeda08-17-1933.jpg

It is frightening to note that the Scouts also used the swastika symbol, including a badge with the swastika, which means they were dashing about the globe (including Germany) wearing paramilitary uniforms with swastikas, doing stiff-arm salutes, waving flags, and (in the USA) chanting mechanically to flags with the pledge's early stiff arm salute, years before, and leading up and beyond the creation of the National Socialist German Workers Party.

Graduates/victims of government schools may find it hard to believe: scouts used the swastika, the straight-arm gesture, robotic chanting, and uniform dress, and they did it all decades before the same was done under the National Socialist German Workers' Party.  The USA was the origin of that behavior under German National Socialism (where the salute was shamelessly stolen from the US). Photograph at http://rexcurry.net/pledge-of-allegiance-scouts-villefranche.jpg

During the time when Scouts adopted the swastika, the symbol was associated in the USA with the growing popularity of paramilitarism and "military socialism," a dogma touted by Edward Bellamy, the American author of the international bestseller "Looking Backward," (1887) known as the bible of National Socialism.

The symbol was also famous in the USA as alphabetical symbolism for socialism in the Theosophical Society (TS), from 1875.  http://rexcurry.net/theosophy-madame-blavatsky-theosophical-society.html

In 1888, the Theosophical Society teamed up with Bellamy's Nationalist movement for military socialism. The Bellamy swastika spread.

After Francis Bellamy created the Pledge of Allegiance in 1892, the Bellamy salute and the Bellamy swastika spread together globally.

By 1915, the symbol was also widely popular as an ornamental "Good Luck" symbol, as in a 1915 postcard showing the American flag posed favorably with a swastika. http://rexcurry.net/swastika-flag2.JPG

For more information on the swastika as alphabetical symbolism see http://rexcurry.net/swastika-hakenkreuz.html

The swastika was also adopted by American soldiers in the 45th Infantry Division and in the Escadrille Lafayette Americaine during World War I and adorned American soldiers' shoulder patches, flags and planes used in the fight against Germany. http://rexcurry.net/45th-infantry-division-swastika-sooner-soldiers.html

In 1921, the swastika's meshed "S" letters acquired the alphabetic symbolism of "Scout Submission" in scouting along with the concept of self-sacrifice (even the ultimate self-sacrifice) because it represented a cross. It is important to note that the Nazis did not call their symbol a "swastika," but called it a "Hakenkreuz," which means "hooked cross" because it was a type of cross. That also tied the scout swastika into the Bellamy dogma which was also known as "Christian Socialism."
Scouts submission badge image http://rexcurry.net/scouting-boy-scouts-girl-scouts-nazi-scouts.jpg

Scout founder Robert Baden-Powell wrote "The Swastika" in "What Scouts Can Do: More Yarns in 1921" and attempted to give the swastika an etymological meaning that is different from the other popular idea that it the symbol meant "well being" or "good luck."  According to Baden-Powell's first comments, the swastika meant "Obedience or Submission, the different arms of the cross being in reality legs in the attitude of kneeling."  Thus, Baden-Powell also recognizes the swastika as a type of cross with religious significance.  Baden-Powell also mentioned in passing Norsemen, Greeks, and myths about Atlantis.
Scouting sacrifice badge photograph http://rexcurry.net/scouts-swastika-thanks-badge-scouting.gif

The swastika was also popular among Girl Scouts via a magazine called "The Swastika" (1914-1918) that stated on each cover "Written, Issued and Read by THE GIRLS' CLUB." Each cover was also adorned with two swastikas in the S-letter orientation.  The October 14, 1914 cover shows a swastika flag. The February 1916 cover shows a girl wearing a hat adorned with a swastika. The membership pin for the Girls' Club was a swastika.  

The Girl Scouts program began in 1912 and was founded by Juliette Gordon Low in 1912 and based on the Scouting principles developed by Baden-Powell.

Wikipedia is spreading the news about Dr. Curry's discoveries. Recent articles at opinioneditorials.com report on the many references to Dr. Curry's research and discoveries on Wikipedia. Even Wikipedia founder Jimmy "Jimbo" Wales has publicly noted Dr. Curry's influence on Wikipedia. Dr. Curry's work has been covered and verified on Wikipedia. Some Wikipedia writers use Dr. Curry's work without attribution in apparent attempts to bolster their own credibility.

The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) is a United States Scouting organization, with some presence in other countries. The BSA is the largest youth organization in the United States; over one hundred million Americans have been members. Founded in the USA in 1910, the movement had a registered membership of 2,938,698 youth with 1,146,130 leaders in 122,582 units as of the end of 2005.

The BSA sprang from the concerns of the socialist movement in the United States. It was a concern that grew from the military socialism of Francis Bellamy and Edward Bellamy. The BSA adheres to the Scout method to teach values such as patriotism, citizenship, and outdoorsmanship through a variety of activities, including outdoor activities.

The BSA utilizes uniforms and advancement in rank similar to the military. The BSA operates through units such as troops, packs, and crews.

The socialist movement in the United States was at its height during the early twentieth century. Socialists were concerned that young men had too much individualism and were not learning patriotism, citizenship, and self-sacrifice. The Young Mens Christian Association (YMCA) was an early promoter. Baden-Powell started Scouting in 1907 and the movement began to grow.

In 1909, Chicago publisher W. D. Boyce was visiting London, England where he learned of the Scouting movement. Upon his return to the US, Boyce incorporated the Boy Scouts of America on February 8, 1910. The YMCA became interested in the nascent BSA program and provided support.

The Pledge of Allegiance salute was adopted in scouting as shown in 1934 photos. A further description is below.  
Photograph at http://rexcurry.net/pledge-of-allegiance-scouts.jpg

The original Pledge of Allegiance was created in 1892. The early Pledge of Allegiance used a straight-arm salute that was the origin of the salute used later by the horrid National Socialist German Workers' Party.  The USA was the origin of the Nazi salute, robotic group-chanting to flags, Nazism, flag fetishism, and the modern swastika as "S" symbolism for "Socialism," as shown in they research of the noted historian Dr. Rex Curry.

The original first printing of the Boy's Cubbook in 1930 still showed the use of the stiff-arm salutes by Scouts.
http://rexcurry.net/pledge-of-allegiance-scouting-cubbook-wolf1930.JPG

This printing was recalled after release by BSA to change to the Cub Scout salute (on page 23). The reason is found in the History of Cub Scouting, published by BSA in 1987. This is a quote from page 13: "The Boy's Cubbook for Wolf rank was published while the first packs were being chartered in April 1930.  It was quickly revised to change the Cub salute.  In the original edition, the salute was the Indian sign for peace, with right arm upraised, palm out.  Apparently leaders saw that the salute was disconceertingly similar to the Nazi salute of Adolf Hitler, who was beginning his rise to power in Germany enroute to engulfing the world in war.  The new salute was the familar two-fingered touch of the right hand to the forehead."  The 1987 explanation is almost as inaccurate as the original 1930 book in repeating the American-Indian myth, and showing complete ignorance of the use of the gesture in the early Pledge of Allegiance.
http://rexcurry.net/pledge-of-allegiance-scouting-cubbook-wolf1930b.JPG

BSA destroyed whatever original printings they had.

Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts still use a remnant of the early Pledge of Allegiance.  Scouts use a military-style salute that developed from the initial military salute of the Pledge. A stereotypical Scout website states that scouts should memorize the pledge, that the "denner" (den leader) should lead the group in the pledge at meetings, and the web site mimics government schools by providing the usual shallow propaganda about Francis Bellamy and the Pledge

The original pledge began with a military salute that then stretched out toward the flag. In actual use, the second part of the gesture was performed with a straight arm and palm down by children casually performing the forced ritual chanting.  Professor Curry showed that, due to the way that both gestures were used sequentially in the pledge, the military salute led to the Nazi salute. The Nazi salute is an extended military salute via the USA's pledge.

Francis Bellamy (author of the "Pledge of Allegiance") and Edward Bellamy (author of the novel "Looking Backward") and Charles Bellamy (author of "A Moment of Madness") and Frederick Bellamy (who introduced Edward to socialistic "Fourierism") were socialists.  Edward, Charles and Frederick were brothers, and Francis was their cousin. Francis and Edward were both self-proclaimed National Socialists and they supported the "Nationalism" movement in the USA, the "Nationalist" magazine, and the "Nationalist Educational Association." Edward inspired the "Nationalist Party" (in the USA) and their dogma influenced socialists worldwide (including Germany) via “Nationalist Clubs.” They touted their dogma of "military socialism" and the "industrial army" because they wanted all of society to ape the military.

This may be hard to believe for graduates/victims of government schools: Americans wore swastika shoulder patches and used the striaght-arm gesture, all before the same was done under the National Socialist German Workers' Party.  The USA was the origin of that behavior under German National Socialism.

It is worth noting that Americans still use the greeting "hello" as they did then, and it is related to the German greeting "Heil" and thus to "Heil Hitler."  The term "hello" is used for hailing people and is related to the phrase "Hail to the chief," and to these words: hail, heal, health. It is also related to the term "salud," meaning "health," and thus to the term "salute" and the act of saluting, which included the manner of saying "hello."

The straight-arm gesture had been spread in the USA by the government's takeover of schools. Laws had been imposed that required children in government schools (socialist schools) in the USA to robotically chant the Pledge with the stiff-arm salute.
http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-pledge.html

Francis Bellamy created the pledge to the USA's flag (1892). The early Pledge began with a military salute that then extended out toward the flag into a straight-arm salute.

Francis Bellamy was cousin and cohort to Edward Bellamy, author of the bible of National Socialism "Looking Backward" (1888) an international bestseller. Edward Bellamy's National Socialism movement teamed up with H. P. Blavatsky's Theosophical Society to spread the dogma worldwide. Blavatsky and the Theosophical Society used the swastika as alphabetic symbolism for their utopian "socialist society."

The Bellamy swastika and Bellamy salute spread globally.

Both Bellamys were self-proclaimed socialists in the nationalism movement in the USA, and they called their dogma "military socialism."  They wanted all of society to ape the military and they wanted the government to take over all schools in order to create their "industrial army" and spread their dogma through children.

It is important to remember that the above history would not have been unknown to people associated with the 45th Infantry when the swastika was adopted as its symbol, nor to other Americans who viewed the 45th Infantry's new symbol.

The USA influenced the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the National Socialist German Workers' Party, and the Peoples' Republic of China in their flag fetishism, civilian salutes, military socialism, the use of government schools (socialist schools), and robotic chanting in worship of government and government officials.

The USA originated Nazi salutes, flag fetishism, Nazism, robotic group-chanting to flags, and the modern swastika symbol, as shown in the research of the noted historian Dr. Rex Curry.  Amazing graphic images that prove the point are linked at
http://rexcurry.net/theosophy-madame-blavatsky-theosophical-society.html

Both the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and the National Socialist German Workers' Party followed the socialist trend in the USA in using the swastika as a symbol for socialism. http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-swastika.html

It all resulted in the socialist Wholecaust (of which the Holocaust was a part): 65 million slaughtered under the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics; 49 million under the Peoples' Republic of China; 21 million under the National Socialist German Workers' Party.  The socialist Wholecaust was the worst loss of human life in history.

The USA is still the worst example in the world of bizarre laws that require robotic chanting to a national flag in government schools (socialist schools) every day for 12 years. It has changed generations of Americans from libertarians to authoritarians. The government bamboozled individuals into believing that robotic group-chanting in government schools is a beautiful expression of freedom. Frightening photographs are at http://rexcurry.net/pledge2.html

....................................

The Germans did not call their flag's symbol "swastika," and the symbol was not called that by Native Americans.  In fact, the symbol attributed to Native Americans should not even be described as a swastika. The Native American "whirling logs" pictogram did not even look like a modern swastika until Native Americans were asked to mimic the modern-looking swastika symbol. The term "swastika" should not even be used in the same sentence as "Native American" unless it is a sentence debunking the myth.

In the late 1800s, when J. Lorenzo Hubbell and J.B. Moore opened their trading posts in Arizona and New Mexico. By 1896, with prodding by Hubbell and Moore, the symbol proliferated on Navajo rugs, sometimes lifted directly from the images in sand and depicted as a central cross with a male-female pair of standing figures ("yei" or "dreaming twins") at the end of each of the four arms of the classic equalateral cross (the plus sign or addition sign).

It was even later than that time period, when the elaborate pictures began to mimick the modern stylized "S" shaped swastika, which is visually dissimilar, and tied to the earlier sand paintings only by myth.

Native American Indian children were required to perform the Bellamy salute in segregated government schools. Even today, some states continue to have laws that require the Pledge of Allegiance daily in government schools.

Scouts also used the swastika as a symbol.  It acquired the alphabetic symbolism of "Scout Submission" and the concept of self-sacrifice (even the ultimate self-sacrifice) because it represented a cross.
http://rexcurry.net/pledge-of-allegiance-scouting.html

It is important to note that the Nazis did not call their symbols a "swastika," but called it a "Hakenkreuz," which means "hooked cross." Altough it was an ancient symbol, the hooked-cross was also used to represent crossed S-letter for "socialism" under the National Socialist German Workers Party, as shown in the work of the historian Dr. Rex Curry (author of "Swastika Secrets"). http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-swastika.html

Below is a somewhat ominous piece that pre-dates the National Socialist German Workers' Party, Baden-Powell gives an etymological meaning to the swastika that is different from the popular modern idea that it means "well being" or "good luck."  According to Baden-Powell's first comments, the swastika meant "Obedience or Submission, the different arms of the cross being in reality legs in the attitude of kneeling."  Thus, Baden-Powell also recognizes the swastika as a type of cross with religious significance.  

Baden-Powell also referenced Norsemen, Greeks, and myths about Atlantis. http://rexcurry.net/pledge-of-allegiance-scouting.html#BOY_SCOUTS_SWASTIKA

"The Swastika" From Baden-Powell, What Scouts Can Do: More Yarns (1921):

"On the stole of an ancient bishop of Winchester, Edyndon, who died in 1366, is the Swastika or Scouts' Thanks Badge. It was at that time called the " Fylfot," and was said to represent Obedience or Submission, the different arms of the cross being in reality legs in the attitude of kneeling.

But as you know from the account of the Swastika Thanks Badge which I have given you in Scouting for Boys, this symbol was used in almost every part of the world in ancient days, and therefore has various meanings given to it. http://rexcurry.net/scouting-boy-scouts-girl-scouts-nazi-scouts.jpg

It has been found engraved on weapons belonging to the Norsemen. It was also engraved on the spindles used by the ancient Greeks in their- weaving at Troy.

In India rice is spread on the ground in the form of the Swastika at the baptism of a baby boy to bring him luck.

The Indians in North America use it as an ornament, and it has been found engraved on ancient pottery in Peru.

How it got from one country to another, separated as they are by oceans, it is difficult to guess, but some people who say they know all about these things, affirm that there was once a great continent where now there is the Atlantic Ocean, but it went under the sea in an earthquake.

This continent was called Atlantis, and joined up Europe with America.

It was supposed to have four vast rivers running from a central mountain in different directions—North, East, South, and West—and the Swastika is merely a map of Atlantis showing those four rivers rising from the same center. "

In the book "The Boy-Man: The Life of Lord Baden-Powell" (1990 New York: Morrow) the author Tim Jeal argues that Baden-Powell's distrust of Soviet socialism in the USSR led to his implicit support, through naïveté, of German socialism under the National Socialist German Workers Party. In 1939 Baden-Powell noted in his diary: "Lay up all day. Read Mein Kampf. A wonderful book, with good ideas on education, health, propaganda, organization etc.—and ideals which Hitler does not practise himself." (p. 550). The word "Nazi" never appears in Mein Kampf. The word fascism appears twice and never as a self-description in Mein Kampf. The term "National Socialism" and its variations appear throughout in describing ideas on education, health, propaganda, organization etc.

According to his biographer Rosenthal, Baden-Powell used the swastika because he was a sympathizer with the National Socialist German Workers Party. http://rexcurry.net/swastika3swastika.jpg

Jeal, however, argues that Baden-Powell was ignorant of the symbol's growing association with National Socialism and Military Socialism and Christian socialism. Yet, Baden-Powell used military-style uniforms and other military imitations in Scouting. Baden-Powell related the swastika to the hooked-cross (hakenkreuz) and Christian socialism when he said that the swastika meant "Obedience or Submission, the different arms of the cross being in reality legs in the attitude of kneeling."   Jeal maintains that Baden-Powell's use of the symbol related to its other meaning of "good luck" in Sanskrit, for which purpose the symbol had been used for centuries prior to its modern use by socialists as overlapping S-letters for "Socialism."  However, that concept of "good luck" was part of the inspiration that motivated other socialists in the use of the hooked-cross, while adding the concept of crossed S-letters for "socialism." That concept was shared by Christian socialists in their use of another cross, the non-hooked cross, for "good luck." http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-swastika.html

On April 13, 2009, news outlets quoted Justice Clarence Thomas stating “Or how can you not reminisce about a childhood where you began each day with the Pledge of Allegiance as little kids lined up in the schoolyard and then marched in two by two with a flag and a crucifix in each classroom?"

It is interesting to note that Justice Thomas did not mention if he used America's early stiff-arm salute for the pledge.
http://rexcurry.net/pledge-allegiance-pledge-allegiance2.jpg

It is interesing that the cross was with the flag in every classroom, in that a similar practice had been followed under the National Socialist German Workers Party. In fact, German National Socialists did not call their symbol a "swastika," they called it a "Hakenkreuz" (hooked cross). It was also called a hooked cross in the USA. Thus, German National Socialists had a cross ON their flag and in their classrooms.  http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-swastika.html

And the salute used by German National Socialists originated decades earlier in the USA's Pledge of Allegiance, written by Francis Bellamy, a self-proclaimed socialists in the nationalism movement. http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-pledge.html

Bellamy wanted his Pledge of Allegiance to spread globally and that is why Bellamy's original pledge did not reference the "flag of the United States of America." Bellamy wrote his pledge so that it could be used in any country. He wanted to spread military socialism worldwide. Bellamy also organized a World Youth Congress in 1892. http://rexcurry.net/francis-bellamy-daily-gleaner-kingston-jamaica.jpg

In addition to the swastika symbol, the trefoil symbol was also used by Boy Scouts. The trefoil symbol was adapted by the Boy Scouts from the north point of an old maritime compass and is similar to the French fleur-de-lis, flower of the lily. The trefoil symbol of the Boy Scouts also resembles an arrowhead and the three points of the BSA trefoil is said stand for the three parts of the scout oath. The scout oath contained a reference to God before a similar passing reference was inserted by the government into Francis Bellamy's Pledge of Allegiance. Originally the British Boy Scouts and others added a swastika to the trefoil but the design was changed in 1934 when the swastika was adopted as the symbol of the National Socialist German Workers Party.

The post card above is circa 1906 and was produced by Raphael Tuck & Sons "Educational Series of Post Cards #404" and on the front shows a U.S. Army Major General and on the back of the postcard is advertising for Boy Scouts Shoes with a Swastika symbol and stating "Possessors of this good luck 'Boy Scouts' Emblem, only attached to each pair of Excelsior 'Boy Scouts' shoes prepare to be (see other side)" referencing that lads should turn over the card and prepare to be Major Generals in the U.S. Army as shown in the image. The card also provides a job description for a Major General, including pay: "$8000 a year, in addition to the allowance for quarters, light and heat. Upon retirement (at age of 62), he receives $6000 per annum." This overall gist of the card is in keeping with the Military Socialism dogma touted by Edward Bellamy.

A swastika was featured on the spine of the book entitled "The Rivals of the Trail" from the Camp Fire Series. Described as "A series of wholesome stories for boys told in an interesting way and appealing to their love of the open."  It was written by Lawrence J. Leslie and published in 1913 by The New York Book Company, a Primrose Edition (184 pages).

A description of the 1934 photos above is provided below from a milestones of scouting source -

The book "The Cruise of the Adriatic" was written by Rose Kerr, International Commissioner for Girl Guides and is about the second of the Scout and Guide 'Peace Cruises'. It took place between March 29th and April 15th, 1934. Their were also the voyages of the Calgaric (in 1933) and the Orduña, including their official records by the same author.

Here is a description of the cruise trip: "THE Adriatic docked at the next port of call, Villefranche, the port adjacent to Nice, close to the Italian Border, on Wednesday, April 4th [1934]. The voyagers were taken to the Nice War Memorial and were outnumbered by delegations of Scouts and Guides from the region, which included a British Guide Troop based in Nice. There were various religious groupings, each having their own branches of Scouting and Guiding. The contrasting uniforms made a colourful spectacle.

The Mayor of Nice made a speech to which The Chief Guide responded, and then in the evening the whole of the Adriatic party was invited to a very successful Scout and Guide Entertainment, in the Nice Concert Hall. It is recorded, however, that there were some who succumbed to the charms of the nearby Monte Carlo Casino!

On returning to the Adriatic, the party found that they had been invited the next day to board H.M.S. Resolution, which was anchored alongside. Some were able take advantage of this offer, but unfortunately most of the party were pre-booked to attend various excursions including one to the World-famous aquarium at Monte Carlo.

The Chief Guide and senior members of the party were taken to a Guide Camp which was in progress on the outskirts of Nice, and were greeted by Guides giving the stiff-armed Roman Salute, as shown in the photograph. Lady Olave was intrigued to see tents with zip fastenings! It seems strange to us, even 55 years removed from the War, to see Girl Guides giving what appears to be the Nazi salute. There are similar images from all three voyages. The Roman Salute [sic], like the 'fylfot' symbol, had no sinister associations prior to the emergence of the [National Socialist German Workers' Party] in Germany.

[The above paragraph repeats the error that the salute was a "Roman" salute. Dr. Rex Curry showed that it was not an ancient Roman salute and that the "ancient Roman salute" is a myth.]

The Adriatic party had to return promptly from their various excursions in order to be present on the quayside at Villefranche to be inspected by HRH The Duke of Connaught KG. Mrs Rose Kerr does not record the fact that the Duke had a life-long association with Baden-Powell, having met him and played polo and enjoyed pig sticking with him in India. He was one of the foremost supporters of Scouting.

SCOUTING CONTINUES TO SPREAD THE SAME BEHAVIOR

By Eden Derby, February 08, 2009

KIRKSVILLE, MO -- The Boy Scouts of America celebrated the 99th anniversary of the organization's founding by Lord Baden-Powell Sunday.

Boy Scouts of all ages participated in Boy Scout Sunday at the First United Methodist Church in Kirksville. The scouts wore their uniforms to Sunday morning services and led the church in reciting the Pledge of Allegiance while saluting our nation's colors. The congregation also prayed the official Boy Scout Prayer.
