Sheryll Murray MP was pleased to join Girl Guides for the decommissioning of their old flag and the blessing of their new flag at Liskeard Wesley Methodist Church. The new flag was a donation from the Old Cornwall Society.
The Minister, Revd Ruth Goodland, spoke of the many stories the flag being decommissioned had and how the new flag would see many new stories of the existing 2nd Liskeard Girl Guides which have been in operation for 92 years.
Following the event Sheryll Murray commented, "It was a real privilege to be invited to such an important ceremony. The Girl Guides are a fantastic example to our young people and I would in particular like to thank the leaders and volunteers who make this organisation the success that it is. I would also like to thank the Old Cornwall Society for their kind donation and wish the Girl Guides every success in the future with their new standard."
