What is the official salute of the FFA?

• A. The National Anthem
• B. The American Flag Salute
• C. The Scout Oath
• D. the pledge of allegiance

Answer: (D)

FFA ceremonies use the Pledge of Allegiance as the official salute. Reciting the pledge while facing the flag and placing the right hand over the heart shows loyalty to the United States and to the ideals of the organization. The National Anthem is a musical performance used at events, not the formal salute. The Flag Salute is a gesture to honor the flag, but the standardized, official salute in FFA is the pledge. The Scout Oath belongs to Scouting, not FFA. So, the pledge of allegiance is the correct official salute.
