How does PackMaster compute service stars for the Pack/Den Awards Report?
For scouts, service stars are based on the Joined Unit date. For adults, they are based on the Became Leader date. This is then adjusted by any Leadership History or Prior Service dates in his record. For example, a adult with a Became Leader date of 08/01/02 and no prior service would be listed for a 4-year service star for an awards report with From-To dates of, say, 07/01/06 thru 08/30/06. If the same adult had 6 months of prior service, he would be listed for a 4-year pin for a report that included the date 02/01/06 (i.e., 6 months earlier than in the first example). In computing service stars, PackMaster is careful not to double-credit overlapping periods of service.
