Finally, this was the 2024 exclusive, which I haven’t figured out what to do with yet because it doesn’t fit on the lanyard and I’ve run out of room on the Bag. I’ve also been coming to SDCC for 10+ years. And if I want to come to more, I have to figure out where to put my new badges!

Ok, now my lanyard! First, these are the reward patches for the annual scavenger hunt. 2020 and 2021 are blacked out because SDCC was virtual-only for the pandemic. 2019 and 2018 are flipped because it was either that or have a weird-looking gap.

I had a request to say what all my merit badges from @theconrangers.com are for, so here’s a thread! We’ll start with the new ones from this year, which still have the labels attached. (Hall H is a replacement for an old one that must have come off my bag.)
