From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A guide is a person who leads anyone through unknown or unmapped country. This includes a guide of the real world (such as someone who conducts travellers and tourists through a place of interest), as well as a person who leads someone to more abstract places (such as to knowledge or wisdom). Guide - meanings related to travel and recreational pursuitsThere are many variants of guides in this context, and guides are often employed in any aspect of travel or adventure, or wherever there is an advantage to the client in terms of knowledge provided in improving the overall travel experience or making the client feel more safe due to the presumed expertise of the guide. These days guides will normally possess an area and field-specific qualification usually issued and/or recognised by the appropriate Guide's Association or licensing authority. However this is not always the case, and it is advisable for travellers paying a premium to go on an organised tour or journey because they think this will mean they will have a better experience to check the guide's qualifications beforehand. Explorers in the past venturing into territory unknown by their own people invariably hired guides. American West explorers Lewis and Clark hired a Shoshone Indian woman Sacagawea, and Wilfred Thesiger hired guides in the deserts that he ventured into, such as Kuri on his journey to the Tibesti Mountains in 1938. Aside from knowing the way or the area geographically, modern guides are usually hired to act as interpreters for those travellers who do not speak the local language and provide cultural, historical or other information on the area visited. Travel companies organising tours of large groups often have a guide or tour leader accompany the group. They might also be trained in First Aid and have other skills that reduce the risk for the tour operator to conduct these tours or the travel agency selling them. Here are some examples of guide professions: From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License What is the difference between Scouts and Guides? Q. I know Scouts now take girls and boys and Girls Guides only take girls but I was wondering what is the difference in what activity's they do? I am a 15 year old girl and want to join one of them. Which is better? By the way I live in Australia if it makes any difference. Asked by Rosie - Thu Sep 11 03:06:07 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. It does make a difference that you live in Australia. I'm from New Zealand and the Scouting and Guide movements are very similar to each other, but VERY different to American. I have been in the Scouting movement for 6 years (I left last year) and the Guide movement for 3. It really depends what you're into and the sort of person you are. Do you like camping? Tramping? Tying knots? Doing really outdoors stuff, i.e. getting dirty and muddy. Do you like spending time with guys? Or Are you interested in a little bit of camping and tramping and tying knots? But cooking, sewing, baking and other 'girlie' things? Do you prefer spending time with girls more than guys?

I live in a whitewater community and people always have raunchy jokes about female raft guides. I know a lot of female guides and they are very nice and respectable (and clean) people. I also want to be a raft guide. Where do people come up with this stereotype and why? I am experinced on the river. I am a kayaker and I raft. I have entry level swiftwater rescue certification Asked by Scout - Thu Jul 2 16:27:14 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. I have been guiding rafts since the early 1990s and have worked with several women guides. I have heard the same jokes and that's all they are, jokes. Nobody takes the jokes seriuosly. As a guide it doesn't matter if I am working with women or men as long as they are professional. I have also been a rafting customer on rivers I am not familiar with and I don't care what gender the guide is. I want a guide who will hit every wave and surf every hole.

Q. I'm going to be starting my Photo II class and the teacher is a total douche from what I hear. I'm going to have to teach myself, so are there any good guides (videos, text, etc.) out there that I can teach myself?
