[2][3] The National Cadet Bisley Grand Champion Medal was instituted by the State President in 1987.[1] The position of the National Cadet Bisley Grand Champion Medal in the official order of precedence was revised three times after 1975, to accommodate the inclusion or institution of new decorations and medals, first upon the integration into the South African National Defence Force on 27 April 1994, again in April 1996 when decorations and medals were belatedly instituted for the two former non-statutory forces, the Azanian People's Liberation Army and Umkhonto we Sizwe, and finally upon the institution of a new set of awards on 27 April 2003, but it remained unchanged on the latter two occasions.The National Cadet Bisley Grand Champion Medal is unusual in that the South African Coat of Arms does not appear anywhere on it.The medal is a round medallion struck in silver, 3 millimetres thick and 38 millimetres in diameter, depicting the prancing springbok emblem of the School Cadet Corps of the South African Defence Force, partly surrounded by a wreath of leaves.The School Cadet Corps was part of the Commando system and green and yellow were the dominant colours of the ribbons of most other South African decorations and medals which were instituted for award to Commando members.
