I just wrote a comment where I detailed my recent experience. They honored their email quote, but tried to add on a $1500 BS package which I negotiated down to $150. So I supose they were off by $150 in my case.

I bet the median is one per year though. Out of everyone I know who goes on cruises, they just go once a year. I imagine there are quite a few people that go multiple times a year that would pull the average away from the median. Cruises

That's for Cub Scouts. For Scouts BSA, the current plan is to have boy-only troops and girl-only troops. They can share the same troop number, committee, budget, etc, but only the Scoutmaster has to be different. I foresee that cha
