Actually, this is more of the case. We booked 44 slots for 2003, and had
about 10 people drop out over the last three months due to a variety of
reasons. Currently, we stand at 34 people. We are soliciting local units for
boys (or girls) to go to Philmont, but we are also exploring other options.
We've already decided that if these slots are not filled by March, we will
drop them (but we would hate to lose the money that we've already invested).

Another viewpoint:
I agree with notifying Philmont on the vacant crew. But, based on
the payment deadlines for 2003 these crew slots have already been
paid for in full by this unit. Full payment was required by October
2002. Unless I am mistaken Philmont does not refund these funds.
If this is the case then it would appear that this unit should be
trying to recover these funds by trying to get another unit to take
their crew reservation. I know that there are many units who go on
the waiting list each year, but unless Philmont refunds a cancelled
crew then we should expect a crew to attempt to recover their
Philmont fee.
Of course the other issue did the crew overbook crew slots?
