RE: [Philmont]: Pretty basic question

Our crew had two participants drop the day before we were to depart for
Philmont this year for very valid personal reasons, a father and son.
We lost every dollar of those fees to Philmont. If we had to do it all
over again we would only reserve and pay for seven slots upon making
reservations, and show up with the additional heads and pay their
additional fees upon arrival. I know this is playing the system and
some may feel it not right, but for a troop to forfeit that much money
for something that is beyond our control is simply too much to absorb.
