The characteristics of scintillation counters measured in a 90-MeV proton beam have been presented. Two-meter long scintillators BC-404 and BC-408, which were viewed from both ends with photoelectron multipliers R1828-01 (PMT) have been used. Both the amplitude and time distributions of the PMT signals are well described by the Gaussian function. It turned out that the amplitude resolution σ(А)/А weakly depends on the type of scintillator and the proton position along the counter, and lies in the interval between 4 and 5%. The best time resolution σ(T) is about 50 ps near the counter ends and 63 ps at the center.
