County Standards
County Standard
At the hoist is our Guiding Trefoil, followed by the Black Shield with 15 Gold Bezants surmounted by a Coronet showing Cornwall to be part of a Royal Duchy.
Next comes the Guide Motto “Be Prepared” and the County Motto “One and All”. Between these is shown the top of a Celtic Cross.
The sword Excalibur is at the fly surrounded by five Choughs, birds associated with the County.
The Standard was made at the Convent of the Epiphany and dedicated in Truro Cathedral on 11th June 1956.
