The Buddy System

 
The Buddy System is where Scouts group together in groups of a minimum of two Scouts.  These Scouts then stay together at all times when they are not in the campsite when camping or in the main meeting room at a meeting. The Buddy System should be used during every meeting, outing, and camping trip.  The Buddy System is one of the ways to ensure that all Scouts are accounted for and is a very important Barrier to Abuse. 

Buddy system guidelines: 
  • The buddy system should be used at all times, not just for aquatics. Horseback riding, cycling, canvassing the neighborhood during a fundraiser…you name it, you need a buddy.
  • It’s recommended that buddies know and be comfortable with each other. No youth should be forced into or made to feel uncomfortable by a buddy assignment.
  • It is strongly encouraged to pair Scouts of similar abilities, ages and maturity. Buddy pairs should be no more than two years apart in age and should be single gender. There are no boy-girl buddy pairs in any programs, including Venturing and Sea Scouts. Adults (anyone over the age of 18) may not be a youth members buddy.  This means that a Venturing crew can not have a 17 year old youth be the buddy of a 19 year old Venturing Participant. In Venturing and Sea Scouting, buddies must be under the age of 18 and aged 18-21. 
  • A buddy team may consist of three Scouts when necessary, like an odd number in a group.
