OFFICIAL RULES OF ENTRY
BSA ANNUAL HEALTH AND MEDICAL RECORD (PART A & B) FOR EVERY PARTICIPANT (KEPT BY UNIT LEADER)
 

General Race Rules:

1. Teams must consist of exactly four (4) Cub Scouts, who will both ride and push. Teams with fewer than 4 may use Scouts from other Packs, but direct arrangements will need to be made between the respective Cubmasters. The race officials will help with introductions but cannot make any arrangements.
2. The racetrack will be broken up into 2 equal length sections. Two team members will be assigned to each changeover zone, and they will be responsible for racing within that specific section. One Scout pushes the push mobile while the other Scout rides to the first changeover zone. The push mobile must come to a complete stop within the changeover zone. The first pusher/rider pair exits the push mobile and hands over the push mobile to the next racers. Teams will repeat this until the turnaround. At the turnaround the push mobile must come to a complete stop, rider must get off, then the mobile turned around and Scouts switch positions. On the return trip, riders become the pushers and pushers become the riders.

3. There will be six racing categories: Lions, Tigers, Wolves, Bears, Webelos, AOL’s, and Leaders. Teams may be a mixture of older and younger Scouts. If this is the case, the team must compete at the age level of the oldest participant, or you may combine units to create an age-appropriate team.
4. The race team must be consistent throughout the entire contest. Occasional substitutions may only occur, but these must be cleared through the Race Master.
5. All team members must wear an appropriate safety helmet at all times while racing. This helmet must fit and strap under the chin. Appropriate helmets include bicycle and motorcycle helmets.
6. No open toe footwear!
7. Racing order will be 1 heat per racing category, cycling through all the categories except Leaders. Leaders will race at the end.
8. If a push mobile strays from its lane a 5 sec penalty will be added.
9. If a push mobile breaks while racing, the team forfeits that race and will have until their next race to make any repairs. If the push mobile is beyond repair, the use of other push mobiles will be permitted, provided the substitute push mobile has passed a safety inspection and you have permission to use it.
10. All categories will be run by double elimination.

All decisions of the Race Master are final.
