Here is a site that explains what a campfire blanket is and has some nice pictures:

They are basicly blankets used to display badges and assorted stuff and usually worn as a poncho.

 

Explaination of the World Badge & World Flag with pictures:

As far as I can tell, Friendship Badges are badges from different country's Guiding programs. They are either given as gifts to scouts from other countries or are earned by learning about the country and/or its Scout/Guide program.

 

Hope this helps!
