I recently reviewed some of the square knots, and wondering about time of tenure. Let's say an award (none in particular) requires 2 years in a position and 4 RT a year. If tenure is from Recharter, is it feasible that the RT. requirements could be satisfied from Sept.-Dec. (4 prior to recharter) and March-June (4 post-recharter).  If a calendar year the same principle would apply.  Or, is the "year" from Sept.-Aug.?  I'm also presuming the position was held for at least two recharter years and that the other requirements were met completely during those 2+ years.  I know some great leaders who have not been able to attend RT regularly due to schedules, etc. So, your thoughts are certainly appreciated!  Yours in Scouting, SMC
