The Rests
Being at halt, the commands for the different rests are as follows:
FALL OUT, REST, AT EASE and 1 PARADE, 2 REST.
At the command _Fall Out_, the Scouts may leave the ranks, but are
required to remain in the immediate vicinity. They resume their former
places, at attention at the command "_Fall In_."
At the command "_Rest_" each Scout keeps one foot in place, but is not
required to keep silence or immobility.
At the command _"At Ease"_ each Scout keeps one foot in place and is
required to keep silence but not immobility.
_1 Parade, 2 Rest._
Carry the right foot six inches straight to the rear, left knee slightly
bent; clasp the hands, without constraint, in front of the center of the
body, fingers joined, right hand uppermost, left thumb clasped by the
thumb and forefinger of the right hand; preserve silence and steadiness
of position.
To resume the attention: _1 Squad (or Company) 2 Attention._
Steps and Marchings
All steps and marchings executed from the halt, except right step, begin
with the left foot.
The length of the full step in "_Quick Time_" for a Scout is twenty
inches, measured from heel to heel, and the cadence is at the rate of
one hundred twenty steps per minute.
The length of the full step in "_Double Time_," for a Scout, is about
twenty-four inches; the cadence is at the rate of one hundred eighty
steps per minute.
The instructor, when necessary, indicates the cadence of the step by
calling "One, Two, Three, Four," or "Left, Right, Left, Right," the
instant the left and right foot, respectively, should be planted.
All steps and marchings and movements involving march are executed in
"Quick Time" unless the squad (or company) be marching in "Double Time."
Quick Time
Being at a halt, to march forward in quick time: 1 _Forward_, 2 _March_.
At the command "_Forward_," shift the weight of the body to the right
leg, left knee straight.
