Requirement

4.2.3.1. Time counted as active need not be consecutive

Required

Scouts may piece together any times they have been active and still qualify. Four months here and two there is six months.

Notes and warnings

Tip. Worth quoting to a board with doubts. A Scout who served four months, dropped out of sight for a year and came back has four months banked toward the requirement.
