According to PEOPLE, the Girl Scouts of the United States of America post-mortem awarded the Bronze Cross to 10-year-old Amerie Jo Garza.

The Bronze Cross is reserved explicitly for Girl Scouts members who display “extraordinary heroism.”

Garza was a first-year Girl Scout member. On Friday, delegates from the Girl Scouts gifted the family with a green Girl Scouts sash for Troop 7000 with the bronze cross pinned to it.

The family also received an honorary framed declaration signed by the CEO of Girl Scouts.

Moments before the tragic Robb Elementary shooting in Uvalde, Texas, Garza received an Honor Roll certificate in her classroom when the shooter opened fire.

Garza’s mother, Berlinda Arreola, 49, said her daughter was one of the first children shot in the classroom by 18-year-old gunman Salvador Ramos as she tried to contact 911.
