Jeff in MI Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Could anyone tell me the length of time a Den Chief must serve for rank advancement? I realize for the service award it is one year but can a Den Chief serve less than that and still achieve rank advancement? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScouterDadOf2 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 It depends on the rank not the posisition. Den Chief can be used as a PoR for Star, Life, and Eagle. Each have different tenure requirements in PoR. From my memory Star is 4 months, Life and Eagle 6 months each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutNut Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Yep, the length of time need to serve in a Position of Responsibility (POR) is 4 mos for Star, and 6 mos for Life and Eagle. It is also not required that the time be all in the same POR. So if a Scout working on Star was a Den Chief for only 2 months, those 2 months would be counted as time in a POR. He would then need 2 more months in another POR in order to fulfill the Star requirement. A year in service as a Den Chief is one of the requirements needed to earn the Den Chief Service Award. The award is not required for advancement in the Boy Scout program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
