    The Buddy Plan

    (Hold up buddy tags.) What do I have here, Scouts? That's right, they're buddy tags. We use them whenever we go into the water, so that every Scout is responsible for the safety of another Scout and so the leaders knows who is in the water. It's an important way to make sure that no swimmer gets into trouble because no one is paying attention to him.
    The buddy plan is really a part of everything we do in Scouting. Remember that in the Scout Oath we say that we will help other people at all times. In other words, we are our brother's keeper,and we pledge to act as a buddy would even to a total stranger.
    Maybe I'm stretching the point a little bit, because you're never going to be a real buddy to some lady you might give directions to on the street or to some little kid whose ball you find for him.
    Still, the idea of the Good Turn and the buddy plan are the same in a way. Both call for you to help another person-to become your brother's keeper. The buddy plan is absolutely essential when were in the water and the idea behind it is important in everything we do.
