This is old drill and ceremony stuff. I used to teach drill and ceremony as part of my duties when I was a Captain. In a hand salute there are two gestures one to bring the salute up and two to drop the salute. Similar in nature that in marching we say 1, 2, 3, 4
I don't see the command "2" used in the military very often anymore. But it is old drill and ceremony and that is probably why the Cub Scouts know it; they adopted it years ago I'm sure.
