Directions

Before the meeting:

Become familiar with the Buddy System by watching this video “The Buddy System.”

During the meeting:

Review the Buddy System section in the Bear handbook with Cub Scouts.
Separate Cub Scouts into buddy groups, by counting off 1-2. If an odd number of Cub Scouts are present, a group of three Cub Scouts can be created.
Tell Cub Scouts to be with their buddy during the entire meeting. Reinforce the fact that they should have a buddy with them at all times especially if they need to use the bathroom.
Conduct the meeting as you had planned.
At two or three random times during the meeting, yell “Buddy Check”.
Identify which buddies are together and which buddies are not. If buddies are not together, encourage Cub Scouts to find their buddy. Once they have their buddy, ask Cub Scouts to hold hands and raise them above their heads.
At the end of the meeting, discuss:
- Why is it important to remember our buddy when we are outside?
- Why is it important to have a buddy when you have to leave the group?
