Abstract

The "role model" guides encountered in the counselors of Israel experience youth study tours, contrast traditional concepts of pathfinder and mentor. This model type is proposed as more appropriate for tours providing informal education and quest for identity. Not drawing authority from official recognition but from a personal guide-tourist relationship, madrichs rated characteristics essential to guides leading these trips. A multi-dimensional analysis uncovered the structure of these characteristics to create a structure of an "excellent" Israel experience madrich. This structural analysis confirms an earlier typology and helps to uncover another kind of approach towards youth guiding.
