Eagle Requirement #4

[kthoman 10]

"While a Life Scout, serve actively for a period of 6 months in one or more of the following positions of responsibility:"

 

I read this as- you can have multiple positions that would total to at least 6 months.

For example, Patrol leader for 4 months, and Scribe for 5 months. These positions were not held at the same time. Together they total 9 months.

 

Do you feel this satisfies the requirement?

Thanks~

I think this could be interpreted a couple ways.

 

1) Serve in one position for 4 month, and another for 3 months.

2) Serve in one position for 6 months.

 

The Eagle Rank application has lines for two positions.

 

And note, the 6 months need not be concurrent in one position.

 

Example - PL from 1/2007 through 3/2007 = 3 months and PL from 1/2008 through 3/2008 = 3 months = total 6 months.

Yes, absolutely, without reservation I would say that meets the requirement. It specifically says "one or more", and the only reasonable interpretation of that requirement is that you can use multiple positions to make up the six months.

 

The only other way I can see to possibly parse that sentence would be to say that it means you could serve six months in one position and possibly six months in another position. But there would be no reason to write that is as a requirement.
