Scouting for girls 
To earn this a Scout must attend every troop meeting: held by her 
troop. A year is counted as one meeting: a week for eight months, or 
two meetings a week for four months. 
1. The gold star is given for attendance at all regular troop meet- 
ings held during a period of one year... Punctuality is required 
and no excuses are allowed. 
2. The silver start is given for attendance at 90 per cent of all 
regular troop meetings. 
3. The attendance badge may be given only to a girl who has be- 
longed to the organization for one year; the badges therefore de- 
note how many years a girl has been a Scout. 
LIFE SAYING MEDALS 
1. The Bronze Cross is awarded as the highest possible award for 
gallantry, and may be won only when the claimant has shown 
special heroism or has faced extraordinary risk of life. 
2. The Silver Cross is awarded for saving life with considerable 
risk to oneself. 
3. These two medals are worn over the right pocket. 
4. Applications must be made by the girl's Captain, who should 
send to National Headquarters, through the Bocal Council, if 
there is one, a full account with written evidence from two wit* 
nesses of the deed.
