Randy is spot on with his description. I do agree it would be nice to be able to provide a text description for those fields when setting up the badge, especially for manual award critiera because otherwise the criteria is just who issued you the badge, not why.
Would you be able to open a ticket in the tracker (tracker.moodle.org) and we can take a look?

Hi Sue,
As a workaround you could add some extra styles to your theme's style sheet to hide the sections you don't want to show. For example on the Site badges page you could do something like this to hide the 'criteria' column:
#page-badges-view .collection .criteria { display: none;}
To hide other columns just change .criteria for one of the following:
If you wanted to shrink the badge image size you could do:
#page-badges-view .collection .badgeimage img { width: 50px; height: 50px;}
To shrink to half the current size.
Not sure where you would want to apply a scrollbar but that can be done by setting the container height then using overflow: scroll;

You are right that the badge image is "baked" at the time the badge is downloaded or exported.
I don't think it's a particularly good idea to change the badge image once awarded though, both technically (fiddling with the internal workings of the file API) and for usability (since you are moving the goalposts somewhat for existing users who already have the badge).

Also, there is a capability - 'moodle/badges:earnbadge', you need that in the course context to be able to receive badges so you might want to double check your permission settings.

Hi Doug,
Just one more thing to check - are the students you are trying to award the badge to enrolled in the course? For course badges, they must be enrolled to be available to award the badge to.
