The official Coat of Arms of Guam shall consist of an upright, two-pointed oval scene which portrays an ancient flying proa (canoe) approaching the beach near the mouth of the Agana River, with a lone coconut palm tree in the foreground. The colors of the Coat of Arms shall be as follows: yellow, which represents the sand; brown, the tree trunk and canoe; green, the palm fronds; white, the canoe sail; grey, the distant flat-topped mountains; light blue, the sky; dark blue, the water; red, the letters GUAM emblazoned across the Coat of Arms; red, the border around the outer edge and surrounding the oval.

SOURCE: (§ 406, § 407, § 408, § 409) Follows former Govt. Code §§ 105, 106, 107 and 108 unchanged, except that a paragraph has been added to § 408 to clear up questions that have arisen when the flags of foreign consulates are flown in close proximity to, but not in the same grouping as, the U.S. or Guam flags. Also, provision for flying the territorial flag at
night has been added. A suggestion was made to prohibit the flying of the flag in inclement weather. Due to the rapidly changing weather, defining Ainclement@ would pose considerable difficulty, and so this suggestion was not adopted.
