Yikes. I hate it when these things happen. On the one hand, you would be perfectly blameless to say "Forget it, I have paid my dues already this summer." On the other hands, you hate to see the boys miss Philmont. It's not their fault that leader A is a flake. Tough call.
There is a handful of men in our ward who always flake out like this. ALWAYS. I never count on them for anything. Just prior to our Moab trip a few weeks ago I was talking to Sister Lebowski and I said, "I wonder when Brother X is going to let me know he can't make it." About 15 minutes later, Brother X called and told me that his wife was sick and he couldn't make it after all.
