In the Athletics Merit Badge one of the requirements lets the participant choose between a 100-yard dash, a 50-yard dash and a 6 potato race. I had a parent who was helping her child with the badge ask what were the rules and time requirements for a 6 potato race. I had no clue.

I let the most obvious thing go right by. Since the mother was working with the scout, I assumed that she was using the book. It is not always good to assume. I will check the book.
Thanks.
