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. [Illustration: 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. 4. Applications must be made by the girl's Captain, who should send to National Headquarters, through the Local Council, if there is one, a full account with written evidence from two witnesses of the deed. [Illustration: MEDAL OF MERIT] 1. The Medal of Merit is designed for the Scout who does her duty exceptionally well, though without grave risk to herself. 2. This medal is worn over the right pocket. 3. Only registered Scouts are entitled to this medal. 4. Application for this medal should be made by the girl's Captain, who should send to National Headquarters, through the Local Council, if there is one, a full account of the circumstances upon which the claim is based. [Illustration: THANKS BADGE] 1. The Thanks Badge may be given to anyone to whom a Scout owes gratitude for assistance in promoting Scouting. Every Girl Scout anywhere in the whole world when she sees the Thanks Badge, recognizes that the person who wears it is a friend and it is her duty to salute and ask if she can be of service to the wearer of the badge. 2. The Thanks Badge may be worn on a chain or ribbon. 3. The approval of National Headquarters must be obtained before the Thanks Badge is presented to anyone. Applications may be sent to National Headquarters by any registered Scout (whether Captain, Lieutenant, or Girl Scout) giving the name of the person to whom the badge is to be given and the circumstances which justify the award. Unless the badge is to be presented to the Captain herself, her recommendation is required. SCHOLARSHIP BADGE; For this see Blue Book of Rules, Edition, March 1922, p-4. VI.
