This is me being hyper-technical. Boy Scouts make the Scout Sign the way you described, with the arm at a right angle. Cub Scouts make the [Cub] Scout Sign with arm raised straight up.

I need a life.

Apparently we used to do the arm raised straight up too in our ritual. I'd rather see it done that way, then when people have their arm lower, with the elbow nearer their body.

This is also done with the Scout Sign at meetings to quite people down. I've seen it also done at Fraternity events.

Venturers, btw, do the Venturing sign with the arm at a right angle.
