ShShould there be a comma before 'and'?

Whichever team completes all three obstacles courses will be credited with a blue badge and a blue badge earns fifty house points.

Yes, there should. The coordinating conjunction 'and' is separating two independent clauses. I would go with 'obstacle' (not 'obstacles') courses.

Yes, and the sentence would be improved by avoiding the repetition of 'blue badge'.

Whichever team completes all three obstacle courses will be credited with a blue badge, which earns fifty house points.
