On view at the Girl Guides Association Headquarters is the Standard of St George
On view at the Girl Guides Association Headquarters is the Standard of St George, to be presented to former Chief Commissioner for England, Mrs Percy Birley by the Princess Royal, after which it will be given to the present Chief Commissioner Lady Cochrane. The standard was started in 1937, but discontinued until 1947 and it represents 6, 000 hours of work. Most of it was done by the Hon Miss Rachel Kay Shuttleworth, for 32 years County Commissioner for Lancashire, N.E. and it is considered one of the most impressive pieces of needlework of the 20th century. Looking at the standard from left to right are Lady Cochrane, Chief Commisisioner for England, Mrs Birley, now County Commissioner for Lancasshire and the Hon Miss Kay Shuttleworth.
