SUBJECT: OPS - THE BUDDY SYSTEM
Try not to dispatch a volunteer into the field by his or
herself. For safety's sake send two people together.
This is a common sense approach for response to both urban
and rural incidents. There is strength in numbers. As well as
personal safety, health, welfare, and mutual assistance.
A field assignment can often be accomplished by one person,
such as delivering something from point A to point B. The task
will be easier and safer, however, when two people do it. The
Scouting program teaches the buddy system. It's something you
should never outgrow, whether or not you were ever a Scout. It is
not too dramatic to say that it might mean the difference between
life and death. I know that there will many people reading this
who can illustrate the wisdom of the buddy system with real life
examples.
Do your people a favor --- and their loved ones. Observe the
buddy system in all your field operations. Take this from an
Eagle Scout who has had more than his share of close calls.
