      cleaning OA sash

      By HashTagScouts · Posted

      I have a vintage sash that was fairly grungy when it was given to me. I didn't want to get it pristine white, but I did want to take out some of the mildewy smell from it to be able to wear it without everyone knowing I was there the moment I walked into a room. Your sash is probably the gauze like material, with the merrowed border all around- I would avoid using a washing machine on it. I took an old travel mug that had a top that sealed on well, and filled it about half full with a solution that was three parts warm water and one part bleach with a small dash of Tide- rolled the sash up like an Ace bandage, put in the container, put the lid on and agitated it for a few minutes and then let it soak for about an hour. Pulled it out after and just ran it under cold water to rinse and then let it hang over the shower curtain rod to drip dry. It's fairly white now. I would suggest this method before resorting to anything more drastic.

      Service Hours Project and Youth Protection

      By sw1928 · Posted

      What are the rules about a scout performing service hours with an outside group in relation to Youth Protection?   EXAMPLE : A Scout does food pantry packing with an outside group not related to scouting do they need a parent to be with them? I know the other rules pertaining to how the service hours are picked, approved, etc. I'm just asking about YPT and Barriers to Abuse guidelines.

      cleaning OA sash

      By BetterWithCheddar · Posted

      @oldasdirteagle: If it's an item you really treasure, then I would suggest dry cleaning. I've machine washed old neckerchiefs on a gentle cycle only to see some of the stitching come loose. Alternatively, I would suggest maintaining the worn look as a badge of honor to show you've been doing the work a long time. 😉
