History
Guiding in Montgomeryshire was started in 1919 by Miss Monica Woosnam (later Mrs. R MacPherson) and her sister Miss Gaynor Woosnam (later Mrs. J. E. M. Richard). The County Standard was given to the County by
Major Richard (Black Watch) in memory of his late wife. The standard
was presented on his behalf by her sister at the County Rally in 1933, held at Leighton Hall.
The emblems on the Standard are:- The Guide Badge
The Montgomeryshire Lion Rampant
Two cross bars bearing the words “Fidelity and Remembrance”
Followed by three sprays of Rosemary
And through the length of the Standard the River Severn
The County Standard
