The Silver DAR Outstanding Cadet Medal is awarded to a student for participation in a non-ROTC, military-affiliated cadet program funded by the school or privately. Eligible programs include, but are not limited to, the Naval Sea Cadet Corps, Civil Air Patrol, National Defense Cadet Corps (NDCC), American Cadet Alliance (ACA), Young Marines, National Middle School Cadet Corps (NMSCC), U.S. Navy League Cadet Corps, Joint Military Cadets of America (JMCA), and United States Cadet Corps. (One medal per year per cadet unit.) Medals are worn according to cadet program protocol. The award consists of a 1.25" silver-toned medal with a matching red, white, and blue ribbon bar and an 8.5" x 11" cream-colored certificate with the Daughters of the American Revolution and the official insignia embossed across the top with signatures of the current administration.
The document jackets are available and sold separately. A template for the certificate can be found here in templates.
