In addition to the methods provided in Prof. Piasecki’s manual, the relay race can be conducted as follows: a) patrols line up in rows a few paces apart, with the scoutmaster standing several dozen paces away from them. The first in each row runs toward the scoutmaster upon a given signal, strikes his hand (with a handkerchief, etc.), returns, hands the handkerchief to the last in their row, and takes their place at the end. In this manner, all members of the patrols run in turn—the patrol wins whose last scout strikes the scoutmaster first. b) Relay race without competition: Scouts position themselves at intervals of several or several dozen paces, depending on their training, and are tasked with carrying an object (or an order) given by the scoutmaster to the other end of the chain in the shortest time possible (similar to the method described in Dr. Piasecki’s manual, p. 65—except without competition between patrols; even a single patrol may conduct such a race).
