But if you haven't, now you know how to get it. We combed through all the available ones, listing only badges that are tied to a specific location, like you have to be in South Africa for a certain new CNN-sponsored badge. These are also all active badges, so you won't find any Austin, Texas badges because those have all been retired. We'll continue updating this list, and be sure to let us know your questions and favorites in the comments!
