County Team

County Team Badges and Bars are presented to members who have represented the county in one or more matches against other counties or in the SCAS County Team Championship (SCAS Inter-Counties):

• on the first year an archer is selected, they may be awarded with a county badge and bar (engraved with the year);
• on all subsequent years in which that archer is selected, they may be awarded with a bar (engraved with the year).

It is not practical to list here all past recipients, as they are too numerous.
