V. SPECIAL MEDALS

ATTENDANCE STAR

To earn this a Scout must attend every troop meeting for a year. 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 meetings held during a period of one year. Punctuality is required and no excuses allowed.

2. The silver star 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 belonged to the organization for one year; the badges therefore denote how many years a girl has been a Scout.

LIFE SAVING MEDALS

1. The Bronze Cross is given 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.
