Program Trip/Travel Standards, PT

Posted: April 26, 2011

Below is the link to the reviewed/revised/reformatted standards for what, in the current Accreditation Process Guide, are the Program Trip/Travel Standards (PT).

What’s Different?

  • Some re-organization of standards into general topic areas (ex: all standards that deal with “staff qualifications/supervision” are grouped together).
  • Majority of the applicability statements have been incorporated at the beginning of the section.

What’s Gone?

  • PT-4 Supervision Ratios: Removed the option to have only one staff member on a trip if specific criteria were met.

Please note: Once all revisions/reformatting have been completed, all standards will be assigned the appropriate number.

I understand why at first glance you require a second leader, however, there
are camps which serve older well-trained and experienced teenagers that by their very philosophy travel in small groups. There should continue to be such an exception if
documentation and additionlal safety measures are in place.rjxA7D

I'm again confused by the use of capital letters to replace what was formerly bullet points in some standards.
For instance PT-6 and PY-9 show capital letters (A,B,C) as individually scored standards as we have had in the past. However, PY-7,12,16 show capital letters with the word AND in between indicating a camp must meet all the items to take a yes as a single scored item.
Which is it???
