Hi Amy,
Our troop’s work around has been that we do not allow our girls to put in a date for completed or check the “recognized” box. We make it our girls’ responsibility from the beginning to tell their leaders they have a badge to present. Once the girls present it, we mark that date in the completed box and check off the “Recognized” box. Before we hand out badges at Badgewagon or COA, we have our leaders go in and look at their girls to verify that they have indeed presented all badges listed under their name.
That process can seem tedious to the leaders. One of the things we do in our troop is Parent Helpers each meeting. This is one of the things our leaders can have the parents do. Leaders bring a laptop in, and parents check books vs TT. Or even check the paper list/report from TT vs the girl’s book.
One of the threads that Matt is referring to (I think) is this one: More Badge Checkboxes (besides just Purchased and Recognized) Please add your thoughts and hearts to this one! 
Hope that helps!
Crissi
