Block Parties included in Badges

Fri, 09 Jan 2026 13:36:15 +0000

Wouldn't it be a great idea to include Block Parties in the badge? For example, in Mega-

Inconsistencies in the counting of events

Tue, 05 Aug 2025 07:10:52 +0000

Project-GC is not coherent in regard of those special names for Events every 5 years:

On the events folder all are counted, although CCE are not counted as such but as "Lost and Found", a type of event I've never done. Block-Parties are counted as BP.

On the badge pages it's completely different:

CCE are counted as ordinary events for the badge
BP are not counted at all as events, neither ordinary nor, as they should, as Mega
Both event types give an add-on for the Geocacher badge, if you visit one
Only CCE gives an add-on for the Event Host badge, if you host one, BP doesn't

This topic has come up several times here, but nobody seems to care about this inconsistencies.

In the wiki they are not even mentioned, only as "Geocaching HQ Block Party (formerly Groundspeak Block Party)", so as a kind of historical event. I've asked about that on the article talk page.

The year is now half through, but nothing has happened in this regard, no consistent answer was given, just some insisting on "a special type" for BP, but that's the same with CCE, which are treated completely different.

Edit for a wee bit more information:

I just looked up the stats of a well known event host and -visitor in this area here, lavette96:

On the badge page he's got:

1249 ordinary events
100 CITO
33 Mega
8 Giga
5 Maze

In sum that's 1395 visited events.

On his events page he's got:

1177 ordinary events
100 CITO
72 L&F
33 Mega
12 BP
8 Giga
5 Maze

In sum that's 1407 visited events.

The difference is 12, that's the visited BP events that are nowhere counted for the badges.

As a host he's got 104 events for the badge, and 104 different events, including BP, on his owner page, so here they are accounted for. But only the CCE give him an add-on for the event host badge (and Mega and CITO), but not BP, that's only for visiting at the Geocacher badge.

Update for 2026:

Event page:

1210 ordinary events
108 CITO
96 L&F
34 Mega
18 BP
8 Giga
5 Maze

Sum is 1479

badge page:

1306 ordinary events
108 CITO
34 Mega
8 Giga
5 Maze

Sum is 1461

Difference is 18, and that's Blockparties, that are nowhere counted in the badges, as before.

country badges banner

Hi!

I found the badges banner for my profile. Is it possible to get a "country badge banner" also? this would be nice.

How about adding the "Cacti" attribute to the stats?

Tue, 06 Feb 2024 17:16:20 +0000

Yes, there exists a "Cacti" attribute. It is pretty rare, only a few caches had it and only one active (most probably) still has it: https://coord.info/GC684

Similarily to the L&F attribute it could be the base for a badge addon in badgegen.

How can I get "The Lab Cacher" badge to appear on my page?

Mon, 29 Jan 2024 04:25:45 +0000

I saw another user who has a badge option for "The Lab Cacher," a badge awarded for logging lab caches. That badge doesn't appear on my page. How can I get that badge also?

The Photographic Cacher Badge Levels

Fri, 22 Dec 2023 02:14:02 +0000

with webcams now disappearing at a high rate I think the levels might now be too high for the webcam badge.

perhaps 15, 20 and 25 as the top 3 levels (instead of 18, 25 and 40.)

Request for a Cache Maintenance Badge

Sun, 11 Jun 2023 02:43:40 +0000

I enjoy doing cache maintenance and getting the troops in order. It’s almost as good as finding caches. I think it would be great to raise the profile of the green maintenance spanner to a level equivalent to that of a smiley.

Would it be possible to have your green spanners as part of your stats, and have a reward badge on BadgeGen too? I think this would be cool way to promote cache maintenance - it would be a win-win for COs and seekers.

I note that there were some comments previously about frequent maintenance suggesting a poorly designed cache - but I would argue that no cache can ever be maintenance free. There is always cache creep, full logbooks, wet contents, torn ziplock bags, rubbish and damage to containers that affect every single cache. Regular, pro-active maintenance is the sign of a committed CO, and it would be great to see this recognised.

Do lab caches also count for the busy cacher badge?

Thu, 05 Jan 2023 19:33:27 +0000

I guess without it there is no "honest" way to achieve Diamond for an individual geocacher. I'm a paid member.

Levels for D/T and 366 addons

Tue, 29 Mar 2022 23:17:25 +0000

Would it be possible to have levels for an add-on, from bronze to diamond the same as the badges? I think this would only be for the D/T and 366 addons.

The levels would go up the same as their badges (matrix and Calendar Cacher)

For example, if I got an FTF on 100 different calendar days, then I would be awarded the 366 addon for my FTF badge at bronze level. When I reached 150 days the addon would go up to silver level, and so on.

New AddOn for Country Badges: Different cache types

Fri, 12 Nov 2021 07:39:05 +0000

I would like to have on AddOn for each country badge showing how many different cache types you found in this country. Only one, not one per type.

This would honour the once searching for laborious caches instead of only one Tradi or event at the railway station.

The Badge Generator and GC.com has big difference for photo count posted on logs by me.

Sat, 02 Oct 2021 23:33:22 +0000

The Badge Generator shows I have 1363 photos posted on my logs.

My personal profile page on GC.com shows I have 2092 photos posted with logs.

Why the big difference?

Country Badges - Missing Country

Mon, 02 Aug 2021 11:07:50 +0000

Hello, today is Monday and on Saturday I was in Salzburg (Austria). For Example: GC920H0, GC7B9WZ

But I miss Austria in the Profile Stats for the Country Badges.

Why is that?

Many greetings!

badgegen geocoin

Sun, 10 Jan 2021 10:42:58 +0000

Hello everybody!

The new Badgegen-Badges were initially unfamiliar to me, but now I like them quite a lot. So I thought to myself it would be nice, if I could buy a geocoin from all the diamond-badges, to collect them when i reach this award. Does anybody know, if there is something being planned from project-gc?

Automatic leapday overview

Sun, 11 Oct 2020 08:49:20 +0000

Is there any way to get a automated overview for leapday of missing caches/badge addons?

Several badges have the leapday addon as described on https://project-gc.com/w/Leap_day_addon. I know I could manually check all badges against the wiki page But I was wondering if there currently is any way to automate this process.
Because I was thinking of doing more of the leapday addons.

----------------------------

Combining these 2 in 2024 seems hard to schedule but I'm looking forward to trying

The Long-Distance Cacher: Log a Gecache on Leap day, on a distance from home that fulfils the Diamond requirement (10,000 km).
The High Altitude Cacher: Log a Geocache, on Leap day, at the height of at least 4,500 meters above sea level.

Low Altitude Cacher badge - bug or feature?

Wed, 02 Sep 2020 05:40:31 +0000

The other day we had the Gold badge for Low Altitude Cacher - now suddenly we have the Ruby badge. What happened? (No, as far as we know we have not logged any low altitude caches in the meantime).

Country Badge check mark addon

Sun, 30 Aug 2020 17:55:21 +0000

2 of my country badges have a check mark addon.
Does that mean I have all counties within the country? Because it is for 2 countries where I have all counties.
But I can't find any documentation explaining the addon on:

Also small examples images of the addons to the Loop/Addon matrix table might make it easier to read because some are self explanatory icons but others are not

Social Cacher badge count

Mon, 13 Jul 2020 11:45:11 +0000

Hello, since The Lost & Found Cacher badge was canceled and Community Celebration Events don't have their own badge (only addon for Geocacher badge), I suggest to count Community Celebration Events together with Event Caches.

This is currect event situation:
Event Cache -> Social Cacher
Cache In Trash Out Event -> Enviromental Cacher
Mega-Event Cache -> MEGA Social Cacher
Community Celebration Event -> nothing
Giga-Event Cache -> GIGA Social Cacher

There are two options:
1) Count Event Caches together with CCE. For example: 160 Event Caches + 20 CCE = 180 = Diamond Social Cacher.
2) Create new badge only for Community Celebration Events.

BadgeGen Update v4.1.2

Thu, 14 May 2020 05:49:10 +0000

Hi everyone,

BadgeGen has been updated to version 4.1.2, with it comes the official release of the new Country Badges.

What's new?

BadgeGen Bronze and Platinum have been given a slight color tweak
The non-awarded, but viewable badges in the Badge Table have a distinct background
Country Badges with flags and names are available for all currently 250 distinct geographic regions on geocaching . com
A country with caches found that has too less data to generate a percentage of regions found gets a "wooden" background.
The following AddOns are currently available on all Country Badge levels from the ruby-level upwards:
FTF - having at least found one FTF in the country
Leap Day - having found at least one cache in the country on Feb 29
81 Matrix - having completed the D/T matrix with caches found only in this country
366 calendar - having a full found calendar with caches found only in this country
All counties - having found a cache in all of the country's counties (green checkmark sign)

We plan for more AddOns in the future, the current goal was to finally release the Country Badges first.
Again, very special thanks to DrDaffy, who had the initial idea of the flag designs.

If you spot any issues with the new badges, please leave your comment here.

Thanks for being patient, stay healthy,

clappy

Owned cache count off on "The Cache Owner" Badge

Fri, 27 Mar 2020 18:49:21 +0000

I'm trying to understand what the cause might be for an incorrect count of owned caches in "The Cache Owner" Badge for my account.

I have 119 non-Lab cache hides on my profile, and 118 of those have finds. My PGC profile stats correctly show this number, but "The Cache Owner" Badge reports 115 hides.

Any idea why I might be seeing this disparity?

Help needed: Country Badges - flag issues

Mon, 23 Mar 2020 19:56:48 +0000

I have started working on the Country Badges for BadgeGen and the new version will feature all territories currently counted by GC HQ. However, I am running into the situation that there are territories listed as unique "states or countries" that are actually part of another country. Or that there are territories listed that don't have flag at all.

Before I am listing all the issues, I'd like to state my concern: We need help in deciding how to handle these cases. There will be no "universal" solution for all cases and you will see why. I'd like to use a regional flag where possible to distinguish the badges as best as I can (because having e.g. several French flags would look strange). But then there might be the question of which to use. What we want to avoid is any too political situation (like a revolutionary flag, or so) or any cultural offense. That's why we are asking for help.

I will post an overview of all issues and one seperate answer for each territory, so you can comment directly.

FRANCE

All French Overseas Territories are parts of France and offically use the French flag.

Réunion: has several unofficial state and proposed flags, and an unoffical regional flag, which BadgeGen currently uses
French Guiana: has an old flag, which is still used in sports
Guadeloupe: has several unoffical flags, one regional flag (currently in use for BG)
Martinique: there is a new flag used for sporting events, BG currently uses the old Coat of Arms
Mayotte: has an unofficial flag, but used as state flag (current BG)
Saint-Martin: has no flag at all
Saint-Barthélemy: has an unofficial flag and is used
Saint Pierre and Miquelon: has an unofficial flag, but none used
Wallis and Futuna: has an unofficial flag and is used
French Southern and Antarctic Territories (this one actually has a flag!)

AUSTRALIA

Heard Island and McDonald Islands: has no flag, uninhabitated

UNITED STATES

United States Minor Outlying Islands: some islands have their own flags, but none as a group

NETHERLANDS

Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba: Carribbean Netherlands, all three have their own flags, but none as a group, but they are grouped as a territory on GC.com

NORWAY

Bouvet Island: has no flag, uninhabitated
Svalbard and Jan Mayen: has no flag

ADDENDUM: I'm getting alerted to several countries that currently have a BadgeGen Badge, but showing no flag. It is most likely they are on the current list from HQ, which I am using. So these territories will get a proper badge. The reason they don't have one right now is that the territory has been added to the list after Kyle had provided the icons, which were never updated by PGC.

Thanks in advance for any input! :)

PS: Here is a Sneak Peek of the new Country Badges:

Could we have two new badges for BadgeGen ?? distinct cache type hidden and distinct cache size hidden ???

Mon, 16 Mar 2020 19:21:58 +0000

Now that your taking over badgegen is it possible to add some more badges ?? I like the bits in the belt and feel that they could be used to have a badge in badgegen. I feel that we could have some hidden badges as well as found badges. So you could have Diverses finder / diverse hider

Update BadgeGen_v4.0.g

Tue, 10 Mar 2020 13:04:34 +0000

Hi everone!

We just updated BadgeGen to version 4.0.g. Due to local client data-caches it will take up to 24 hours until you see the new versions. Meanwhile there could be a mix of new and old.

This is only a minor update, most of the changes are "behind-the-screens". ;)

What's new?

We have updated the graphics slightly, so you might see changes. Biggest change is the new icon for Jasmer, constructive feedback is welcome.
Badge background now have shading to prevent errors in display of gradients.
We have converted all text to vector paths, which should eliminate too small font sizes or absolutely crazy display of the ribbon and loop text.
AddOns are now allocated dynamically to their slots.
File clean-up to remove old parts and have consistent naming.

What's next?

We will further update the wiki pages in the next few days
We will work on the country badges, but it may take a couple of weeks. There are roughly ~250 countries to work on

As always:
If you spot any errors, let us know below.

Cheers, clappy!

Social Cacher Badge: D/T-AddOn

Tue, 03 Mar 2020 17:41:01 +0000

Until the end of 2017 (I believe), it was possible to log all (81) unique D/T combinations only with events. So it would be cool, to have an D/T-AddOn for the social cacher badge - perhaps with another background color...

Ideas for Country Badges

Tue, 03 Mar 2020 16:32:36 +0000

I like the new style of the Badges very much!

Do you think about redesigning the Country Badges in the same style?

What's with AddOns for Country Badges (e.g. 81, 366, 29, FTF, ...)?

Badge: "The Multicacher" leapday addon is missing

In BadgeGen 4.x I'm missing the Ape Badge.

Possible add-ons for the Jasmer Cacher badge

Mon, 02 Mar 2020 15:56:40 +0000

As a Jasmer cacher (I had a double Jasmer before, and I must work a bit to have it back) I have two suggestions for add-ons to this badge. Now it can only be looped, technically up to 9 times, in practice the limit is 4 because of August 2000. And it has no micro-badges. The Jasmer hunters have two additional goals for this challenge, ones that can be rewarded with add-ons to the diamond Jasmer:

Physical Jasmer - Jasmer challenge done only by finding physical geocaches: traditional, multi, letterbox, mystery, HQ, APE, wherigo. So: no events, virtuals etc.
Jasmer Pyramid - this is tricky. It requires a player to find: one cache places in each month of 2000 and the current year (now 2020), two caches placed in each month of 2001 and the previous year (so 2019 now), three caches placed in each month of 2002 and two years ago, etc. So in 2020 the requirement is: 2000:1, 2001:2, 2002:3, 2003:4, 2004:5, 2005:6, 2007:8, 2008:9, 2009:10, 2010:11, 2011:10, 1012:9, 2013:8, 2014:7, 2015:6, 2016:5, 2017:4, 2018:3, 2019:2, 2020:1. In 2021 the requirement for 2011-2020 will grow by one (so both 2010 and 2011 will require 11) and of course the new year will be added.

BadgeGen: Ideas for improving the Jasmer badge icon?

Fri, 28 Feb 2020 09:58:19 +0000

As suggested, I am opening a separate thread for ideas regarding the Jasmer badge icon.

Right now, the idea behind the design is the path from the Start of Geocaching (May 2000) until today. And "today" of course is no fixed end point but the ever-ongoing future.

The icon is a bit crowded, I know, but I have not yet found a clever idea on how to convert the message of the badge into a nice icon that kind of fits the others.

So, if you have any ideas or suggestions on how to improve this specific badge's design, please answer/comment here or send me a message over at geocaching.com.

I will collecting the answers on March 7, 2020 and start reworking the design then.

Update BadgeGen_v4.0.f

Wed, 26 Feb 2020 19:47:00 +0000

Hi everyone!

We have just updated BadgeGen to version 4.0.f. You can see the changes by reloading your Stat Page (Shift-F5), or wait for a few days.

What's new?

We have updated the graphics, so you will see changes, though not so heavy as last time.
We have removed the APE badge and converted it to an AddOn to "The Geocacher" badge
We have also added AddOns for HQ, Locationless, Block Party, HQ Celebration, and Community Celebration to "The Geocacher" badge.
As these AddOns are being rewarded for finding special cache types, they will be available for every badge level, and not only for the gem levels, which is the general threshold for AddOns to be displayed.

What's next?

We will update the wiki pages in the next few days
The Jasmer icon needs some fresh ideas. If you have one, feel free to contact me/us.
We will clean up code and files, to remove old script, stuff we disregarded (this you will not notice)
We will work on the country badges, but it may take a couple of weeks. There are roughly ~250 countries to work on

As always:
If you spot mistakes, let us know. If you critizise stuff you don't like, tell us what we can improve.

Have a nice Leap Day everyone!

PS: I also want to use this opportunity to thank DrDaffy for many, many creative ideas behind the updated artwork.

New Badge Idea: Geocaching Territory

Wed, 26 Feb 2020 12:25:11 +0000

I'd love a new badge that evaluates your geocaching territory, based on this challenge checker: https://project-gc.com/Challenges//47926

Is this possible?

Belts - Will the belts section of BadgeGen undergo updates in the future?

Mon, 24 Feb 2020 02:25:07 +0000

Ever since I discovered Project-GC and saw the BadgeGen tab, I was intrigued and became addicted. Then I saw the belts and thought that was really cool. Will the belts undergo any changes or upgrades once the badges are moved out of BETA?

Badge - The Cache Owner

Sun, 23 Feb 2020 20:35:55 +0000

Hello
There are additional awards for some badges. Examples: "FTF" or "found on 29.02"

Are there additional "badges" for the Badge - "The Cache Owner" ?
Like for example "laid on 29.02" ? "all sizes laid," "number of different cache types hidden," etcetera?

Many greetings

Feedback on new badge: Difficulty of Jasmer cacher badge

Thu, 20 Feb 2020 22:51:49 +0000

I have been looking at the makeover that the badge system has gotten as of late - in particular the new badge types.

Keeping to just one: The Jasmer cache, I have a few questions.

1. Difficulty curve of Jasmer badge

I have noticed that the new Jasmer has a very steep difficulty curve compared to other badges with max values (only 360 degrees in the circle, only 103 attributes collectable), the Jasmer cache has a very steep curve to get to the gem badges ?

Here it is as a table, comparing the percentages of Diamond level for All round cacher and the Attributes cacher against Jasmer's levels:

	All round	Attribute	Jasmer
Bronze	12,5	48,5	15,2
Silver	25,0	58,3	30,4
Gold	33,3	68,0	60,8
Platinum	50,0	77,7	91,1
Ruby	75,0	87,4	97,0
Sapphire	83,3	92,2	98,3
Emerald	97,2	97,1	99,2
Diamond	100,0	100,0	100,0

Shown are percentages compared to value needed for diamond (max). Highlighted in bold is the highest badge that rounding 90,0% of the value needed for diamond badge will grant you. Here it is as a graph:

Suggestion: Bring the difficulty of the Jasmer cache more in line with the rest of badges.

If you were to align the Jasmer badge to the difficulty of, say, the Attribute cacher, the progression in months requirement would look like this:

	Jasmer (proposed)
Bronze	116
Silver	139
Gold	162
Platinum	185
Ruby	208
Sapphire	219
Emerald	231
Diamond	237

Values within the vicinity of the above would be my proposal.

2. Diamond level for Jasmer badge as time moves on

Title says it all. Currently, Diamond is obtained at 237 months. Counting both May 2000 and February of 2020, the total max is now 238 months. Not considering scenarios that include the end of the world or other event that will potentially stop people from getting new cache listings published, presumably there max will pretty much increase by one for each new month we enter. Will the total be revised or is it the plan that 237 will forever be diamond level?

Is there a reason the Cache Owner badge doesn't have 29 FEB and 366 addons?

Tue, 18 Feb 2020 15:06:54 +0000

I just noticed on the wiki that the Cache Owner badge doesn't have 29 FEB and 366 addons. Is there a reason for this? It could give those addons for caches placed on those dates.

The Event Host does have those addons, and I think it's weird that one of those badges does and the other doesn't.

Updated artwork for BadgeGen_v4.0.c

Wed, 12 Feb 2020 16:07:14 +0000

Hi everyone!

It has been a week since BadgeGen v4 BETA with its new design and features has been introduced. We have had massive feedback from you guys and many people wished for more colors, more contrast, and more lively icons.
We have sorted all that feedback and I went back to the table and redid most of the artwork. It is a bit going back towards the old design, with keeping many of our modern ideas. I tried do add more contrast as well as more "shine". I opted against going too realistic, because then the icons would have looked bad on them.
Reasons for the change and a lot of feedback, critics and suggestions can be found in this Q&A-thread.

Today, we're launching the redesigned artwork in BadgeGen_v4.0.c (so still a BETA) and again wish for your feedback. Please be constructive, if you don't like something, please tell us what we can improve.
If you spot some smaller errors in the artwork, please make me aware too, then I can change this in a later update.

Country badges will be tend to later, as soon as the general design is done.
Badge requirements may also be reworked in some cases.

Please note that changes might not immediately visible to you, due to cached data in your browser.

clappy

UPDATE 1: The ribbon font is smaller that it is supposed to be, we are aware of this.

With a new update rolled out today, we will close this thread.
Feel free to post feedback here: https://project-gc.com/qa/?qa=23154/update-badgegen_v4-0-f

List of changed BadgeGen criteria?

Mon, 10 Feb 2020 10:12:29 +0000

Is there a list with new badges and changed BadgeGen criteria? I just want to compare it with the old system…

Thank you,

Which BadgeGen sub-badges can be awarded for Feb 29?

Fri, 07 Feb 2020 05:57:45 +0000

On the new BadgeGen badges, I noticed a 29 Feb sub-badge.
Where can I find a list of which badges this sub-badge is available? I need to plan my activities for Feb 29 to earn as many more as possible!

Shutterbug badge change

Wed, 05 Feb 2020 13:05:45 +0000

Possibly related to this query. My old badgegen had me at 447 images uploaded, though my new badge shows me at 482. Any reason for this?

The Jasmer badge - missing on next loop

Tue, 04 Feb 2020 18:17:17 +0000

It seems that the "next round" is not working properly on the Jasmer badge. I am one cache away from loop 2, but on the badges page it shows I am missing 237 (100%)

I hosted a CITO but there is no add on the new Bagde.

Badges for Labs, Unknown size and Giga

Tue, 09 Apr 2019 03:47:32 +0000

A few days ago, an update for the GSAK BadgeGen macro was released with three new badges:

Lab caches
Size "unknown" caches
Giga events

Is it possible to also have them here in the profile stats?

More info: https://www.saarfuchs.com/2019/04/badgegen-ist-mit-neuen-badges-in-der-version-4-erschienen.html

BadgeBar ignore list

Sun, 06 Jan 2019 09:48:39 +0000

Hello, I'm writing regarding to the badges. I use official ignore list for travelling geocaches in my settings so I have only deserved badges. But if I want to put BadgeBar to my geocaching profile, it shows more badges. It shows diamond levels for The Long-Distance Cacher and The Head-In-The-Ground Award. Is it possible to show somehow only the same badges like on a Project-GC profile? It means if it is possible (in future) to use mentioned ignore list for the BadgeBar too?

Is there a badge after diamond?

Fri, 20 Jul 2018 19:57:48 +0000

I have the diamond badge for FTF with current 358. Under remaining it says 242 (80 %) wich should make 600, is there a next badge or something else you earn when you get to 600?

Graphics/ Icons missing for "Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba" and "Curacao"

Thu, 12 Jul 2018 21:01:48 +0000

Example in my profile stats:

https://project-gc.com/Statistics/ProfileStats?profile_name=Lineflyer&getprofile=Profil+abrufen

EC and surface mines - incorrect level for head in the ground?

Tue, 03 Jul 2018 11:40:46 +0000

Hi.

I found some time ago a large number of earthcaches below sea level with award to the head in the ground award. One day (around march 2018) something was changed. All awards for EC's found in mines disapeared.

I found https://project-gc.com/Home/FAQ#4179902386 and it could be a key to understand.

But I found one thing strange. We tried to made a cache in a surface coal mine (-100 metres below a sea level) as a mystery cache. On first day after publication all was ok, but on next day it showed average level of a county - difference is about 300 metres in height. Is not a square 90x90 m.

Is it possible to make a cache for this award right now? BTW I know mystery caches located on the sea map with finals on the land with atributes "below sea level". Is not fair I think.

Feature request: 2nd order sort for profile badges

Sun, 27 May 2018 08:01:14 +0000

Profile Badges are currently sorted by rank (multiple diamond, diamond, sapphire, emerald, ruby, etc) however they are unsorted within a rank.

Could we have a second order sort please, listing those within a rank by % completed to next level, highest % first.

Order the Badge information table the same way.

I use the badges to choose my next geocaching targets and it currently involves comparing each badge to work out what to target. Having a second order sort would make this much easier.

Include night owl and scuba cacher badges

Mon, 29 Jan 2018 14:56:12 +0000

Hello I always wish these two badges were included soon or later, I had suggested a way in the past, that was to tag the logs of night and scuba caches in a similar way it's done for FTFs, so that the system could see the log and count it, but the answer was that it should have been the cache to be tagged, not the log, so that everyone who logged it would have been awarded the badge.

Wiuld it be possible to do something similar to what they're already doing for challenges? Two lists checked by admins where are included only actual night and scuba caches, and log sent to caches in those lists will automatically be counted for the badge.
It shouldn't be so hard, should it? There are not many night caches around and even less scubas, and with the help of the users it should be quite easy to enlist them all.

Which countries and requirements for badges are there?

I cached all regions of Hong Kobg, but still didn't get the Diamond Badge. Is there a list over
1. All countries
2. A list ofer all the regions in a country and
3. The requirement for each country to get the different badges??
