What goes on the Boy Scouts sash besides merit badges?
The main purpose of the sash is to display merit badges. These are attached in rows of three in no particular order. Many just attach them in the order they were earned. Some attach the required badges for Eagle down one border - usually the right. If additional space is needed merit badges may also be attached to the back of the sash. Venture and Varsity scouts may attach a venture/ Varsity letter in the lower front corner. Temporary patches may also be attached to the back of the sash. A sash pin may be worn to keep the sash in place.
Do Boy Scout merit badges go in a certain order?
If you are referring to the order in which they should be placed on the merit badge sash, the answer, is no, there is no official order. Some scouts place all of the Eagle-required badges on the inside column, so they are closer to the heart. Others place them in the order in which they were earned. I don't believe there is any "correct" way to do it.

No, there is no requirement to do badges. In fact, no merit badges are required for the first 4 ranks.

Some badges are typically earned as part of the scouting activities so a scout who is participating regularly would probably not have to do a badge in his own until fairly high in the program.
