Sorry it might not be super clear, so let me explain it.

ATM we only have a trigger for granted badge, which means we can calls scripts when a user is awarded a badge. But we don’t exactly have what you currently ask for `a script to grant a badge` which would be triggered on some event (joining a specific group? ). As explained, our best solution so far is [Creating triggered custom badge queries](https://meta.discourse.org/t/triggered-custom-badge-queries/19336)
