They were presented with the award by Hato Hone St John chancellor John Whitehead in Christchurch last year.
Rebecca’s mother Sarah said the award was considered to be one of the highest awards a cadet could work towards.
"It is a challenging award — a cadet must complete 10 gold-level badges and do community service to be awarded it."
It had taken the cadets four years to achieve the award.
"All badges include great life skills, drill, leadership and are fun to finish."
Cadets also had opportunities to attend camps and meet like-minded people.
"Both cadets have been able to use their first aid knowledge in real-life situations and save lives within the community.
Cadets are able to start at year one in the Korora group and work their way to gold level.
There are 14 badges in total and five compulsory ones.
