The cost of a Scouting trip to Europe
What does it cost to take a Scouting troop to Europe?
Our accommodation costs are unusually low due to a great deal on a youth hostel and spending most nights camping or in a free Scout hut. We also got a very good deal on our flight. This time I booked directly with the airline. Other times I have used a travel agent who specializes in groups. These prices are per-person.
