I'm needing to clarify something I am misunderstanding about a Season 5 scenario.
As far as I'm aware (thus far) PCs get 1 XP per 3 encounters, and I'm pretty sure scenario 5.01 The Glass River Rescue is worth only 1 XP.
As I read it however, it seems to contain 5 encounters:
1) A1. The Docks of Xer or A2. Faith Barge Checkpoint (CR 3 or CR 6)
2) C. RIVER DRAKE AMBUSH (CR 3 OR CR 6)
3) E12. The Phantom Steed (CR 2 or CR 5)
4) F8. Sentry Duty (CR 3 or CR 6)
5) G. THE RAZMIRI FAITHFUL (CR 4 OR CR 7)
Am I counting too many encounters, or is this scenario worth more than 1XP?

You get only one XP if you complete 3 of those 5 encounters, or .5 if on slow.
In my situation the party completed 5 of the 5 encounters.
PFS scenarios are worth 1 XP. The few exceptions specifically state how many more XP are earned. The Glass River Rescue can only grant 1 XP.
So, just to be clear, the scenarios, regardless of length, are only worth 1 XP?

Wow, that is awful. In this case they are required to put in almost double the time and effort to achieve the same reward as previous 3 encounter scenarios. Not a fan of this.So, just to be clear, the scenarios, regardless of length, are only worth 1 XP?Unless otherwise stated, yes.
I think you lost me on this. Most, if not all, PFS scenarios run about 5 encounters. Some of them may be RP or traps, but you will find most of them have 5 acts, and multiple encounter areas.
You must encounter at least 3 encolunters to earn the XP for playing in a PFS scenario, and it only takes 3 XP to level.
If you do the three encounters, especially if you don't get to the final encounter, you can find yourself running low on the wealth by level scale, as your gold for a scenario should be reduced by the gold awards for any encounters that you do not have.
Also, for the most part, your first PP is usually gained for completing the entire scenario, from the final (usually) encounter. The second PP for the scenario may have other conditions that can be met earlier, but usually hinge on completing the final encounter in optimum mode.

Also, when you complete a scenario with no encounters, at least no combat encounters, you still get your XP. I have seen this in two different scenarios with two different parties.
There is no rule to the number of encounters in a scenarios. I do not know where you got the idea that it is three. Several older scenarios had 4 or 5 or possibly more.
The rule is 1 XP per Scenario. If you run out of time or for some reason the main objective can not be completed, such as a TPK, then to get your 1 XP, you need to have completed at least 3 encounters.
