We have early bird-pricing and camperships but haven't adopted a published Tier price structure for summer camp.

I am looking for an opinion on first class path advancement at summer camp. Do you feel that it is acceptable for the Scoutmaster of a provisional unit to sign off on first class path advancement requirements, such as building a fire cooking over the fire, demonstrating first aid technique, etcetera etcetera?
