You need to use the rand() and seed() commands for that. An example of
it's usage below. Add you own translate numbers. Changing the seed(1234)
number will change the beginning location in the random number stream
resulting in different results. Rand() will always return a value between
zero and one.

#declare SEED = seed(1234);

#declare A=0;
  #while (A<10)

   object { Grass_Patch
     translate <whatever>
     scale < rand(SEED), rand(SEED), rand(SEED)>
   }

 #declare A=A+1;
#end
