Directions

Before the meeting:

Become familiar with the Buddy System by watching this video “The Buddy System.”
Print and cut out Buddy Calls cards, one set for every two Cub Scouts.
Select the number of animals that are needed for your den. You will need one set of animals for every two Cub Scouts. For example, if you have eight Cub Scouts you will need both pictures of four animals.
Fold up the pieces of paper and place them in a hat or bowl.
If you have an odd number of Cub Scouts, print one additional animal of the animals you’ve selected to create a three-person buddy group.

During the meeting:

Gather Cub Scouts and say: “The buddy system is when two Cub Scouts work together, share, and keep each other safe. The den leader decides how buddies are paired. If there is an odd number of Cub Scouts, you can have a buddy group of no more than three.  Having a buddy is especially important when you are doing an activity outdoors, particularly near or on the water. When you have a buddy, you are not to let your buddy out of your sight. As buddies you are friends, so remember the points of the Scout Law to be friendly, courteous, and kind to each other. You keep each other safe by following any rules or instructions for the activity”
To pick our buddies we are going to pick a piece of paper out of this bowl. Each piece of paper has an animal on it. You will do your best to make the sound of that animal. You will find your buddy who is making the sound of the same animal.
Ask each Cub Scout to pick one piece of paper out of the bowl/hat.
Without showing other Cub Scouts their paper, ask Cub Scouts to make the sound of the animal on their piece of paper.
Ask Cub Scouts to listen for their matching call to find their buddy.
