Hello Adam,I first thought it was a 1960's Peace Movement pin,what with the "V" and all----just kidding,but it could be part of the Youth hostel movement in around the 1920's or 30's--Albert Speer was heavy into this--See "Inside The Third Reich"--just a thought anyway.Hugh.

With the blue background and the two fingers, I would guess very early US Cub Scout pin. Looks like their shade of blue too. Remember the Cub Scouts go all the way back to 1930. Just a guess

The hand in that pin used to be (or may still be) the cutomary symbol in Germany for taking an oath, mainly in court before delivering a sworn testimony. I believe the symbol for Boy scouts involved three fingers to simulate the image of a lilly. But raising the middle finger alone is a less ceremonial expression and means something else.
