  • At least four Cub Scouts 

During the meeting: 

  1. Line up your den. 
  2. Provide a number for each Cub Scout. For example, if you have a den of six, you will number 1-2-3 (for your first three Cub Scouts) and start again 1-2-3 for the next three Cub Scouts. 
  3. Have all Cub Scouts with the same number stand together and inform them they are buddies for this game. 
  4. Tell Cub Scouts that when they hear “Buddy Check!” they must find their buddy as quickly as possible. 
  5. Have Cub Scouts move away from their buddy by skipping, hopping, or walking. 
  6. After a short amount of time, call out “Buddy Check!”. 
  7. Call out each number. If BOTH buddies are together, they can say “Here!” If they are not together, they need to find their buddy and then yell “Here!”. 
  8. The game is done when all buddy groups have said “Here!”.
