Back when I got inducted into the OA almost ten years ago I remember people telling us that the sash should not be washed because if it gets dirty it represents service. This led to some sashes that were in a really bad condition. Around that same time, the plastic sleeves were introduced but, at least in my lodge, it turned out to be a not so popular item.
A couple of years later wearing a clean sash became the norm, and we started to remind everyone that a scout is clean and a dirty and ugly sash didn't give a good image to the OA. About the sashes, i've never had any problems with the current sash when washing it with other pieces of clothing. Dry cleaning is a good option, but if he's just done Ordeal he'll probably want to do brotherhood in the next year so a new sash may be on the way. Then it's time to take care of the long-term sashes (I usually buy a new one every other year).

I read somewhere that next year there's going to be a NOAC at Indiana State.
Any information available online about the event? I went to the National OA Website, but found only information about the ArrowCorps5 event.
Another question,are there usually staff positions available for NOACs? I've already been to a NOAC as a participant (back in 2002 also at Indiana), but would like to experience things from the other side.
Iggle required merit badges, which would you add?

Cooking, Orienteering and even Backpacking are good candidates in my opinion. I would remove Cycling, as a matter of fact I never understood why it made the list in the first place.
