- Frederick Russell Burnham, DSO (May 11, 1861 – September 1, 1947) was an American scout and world traveling adventurer known for his service to the British Army in colonial Africa and for teaching woodcraft to Robert Baden-Powell, thus becoming one of the inspirations for the founding of the international Scouting Movement. Burnham had little formal education, attending high school but never graduating. He began his career at 14 in the American Southwest as a scout and tracker. Burnham then went to Africa where this background proved useful. He soon became an officer in the British Army, serving in several battles there. During this time, Burnham became friends with Baden-Powell, and passed on to him both his outdoor skills and his spirit for what would later become known as Scouting. Burnham eventually moved on to become involved in espionage, oil, conservation, writing and business. His descendants are still active in Scouting.
- Frederick Russell Burnham, DSO, war ein Major der British Army und Befehlshaber der Aufklärungseinheiten im Zweiten Burenkrieg unter der Feldmarschall Roberts. Er war ein Bekannter von Robert Baden-Powell und unterrichtete ihn in den als Pfadfinderfertigkeiten bezeichneten Aufklärungsmethoden. Während des ersten Weltkriegs erhielt Theodore Roosevelt vom US-Kongress die Genehmigung, mehrere Freiwilligen-Divisionen für die Infanterie der US Army aufzustellen. Eine davon, bekannt geworden als Roosevelt's World War I volunteers, bestand unter anderem aus Burnham, Seth Bullock und John M. Parker; sie war 1917 für den Einsatz in Frankreich vorgesehen. Präsident Woodrow Wilson machte jedoch von seinem Recht als Oberbefehlshaber Gebrauch und untersagte den Einsatz der Freiwilligen. 1927 wurde ihm von den Boy Scouts of America der Titel eines Honorary Scout verliehen, eine Auszeichnung welche im selben Jahr eingeführt worden war. Diese Auszeichnung wurde verliehen an „Amerikanischen Bürger, welche durch ihre Leistungen im Wettstreit mit der Natur, Entdeckungen und erstrebenswerte Abenteuer von so herausragendem Charakter sind, das sie die Vorstellungskraft unserer Jugend beflügeln…“.
- Major Frederick Russell Burnham byl americký spisovatel. Jeho myšlenky částečně ovlivnily zakladatele skautingu, Roberta Baden-Powella.
- Frederick Russell Burnham, DSO, nació en Tivoli, Minnesota, EE. UU. , dentro de territorio sioux, el 11 de mayo de 1861 y murió en Three Rivers, California, el 15 de septiembre de 1947. Fue un explorador militar estadounidense, el Jefe de los Scouts sob ordens de Lord Roberts durante la Segunda Guerra de los bóer y un gran viajero. Se le conoce mejor por haber prestado servicio en el ejército colonial británico y por haber enseñado woodcraft a Robert Baden-Powell, siendo ésta una de las influencias más notables del fundador del escultismo. Como Burnham, Baden-Powell era un explorador militar. Después de servir juntos en Matabelelandia en 1896, Baden-Powell se convirtió en un amigo de toda la vida, además de ser un admirador de Burnham. En su libro Arriesgándose (Taking Chances), 1944, Burnham describe su primer encuentro, cuando con Baden-Powell exploraron las Colinas de Matobo. También describe un evento histórico poco conocido e interesante, la dedicación al Montañismo por parte de Baden-Powell en las Sierras en 1931. La dedicación al Montañismo por parte de Burnham fue en 1951.
- Frederick Russell Burnham était un éclaireur américain et un aventurier connu pour son service lors des guerres indiennes et dans l'armée britannique en Afrique coloniale et pour avoir enseigné des techniques de survie à Robert Baden-Powell, devenant ainsi l'une des sources d'inspiration de la création du scoutisme.
- Definito "Il Re degli Scout" (e fu, peraltro, tra i fondatori dei boy scouts americani, dopo il suo amico Theodore Roosevelt e Robert Baden-Powell), non limitando la sua attività all'Africa ma anche al Canada (la corsa all'oro del Klondike, per dire, e la Guerra ispano-americana). Prospettore minerario, avventuriero, militare, esploratore, combattente, spia del controspionaggio britannico coinvolta in un mortale duello con la spia tedesca Fritz Joubert Duquesne, persino petroliere una volta tornato nella natia California, la sua poliedrica figura è romanzesca ai limiti dell'irreale, eppure fu solo la base per Allan Quatermain. Burnham, appartenente a quella razza di uomini più grandi della vita che è affidata a noi mortali, era alto solo 1,62 ma aveva uno sguardo potente e inquietante con occhi tra il blu e il grigio, capacità di vedere da molto lontano (e lui stesso faceva vita spartana per mantenere il rigore del corpo e poter superare le prove imposte dalla vita avventurosa per jungle e deserti, arrivando al punto di non bere e fumare per non ottundere i suoi acutissimi sensi).
- Frederick Russell Burnham, DSO, naseu em Tivoli, Minnesota, Estados Unidos, dentro do território sioux, o 11 de maio de 1861 e morreu em Three Rivers, California, o 15 de setembro de 1947. Foi um explorador militar estadunidense, um Major e o Chefe dos Scouts sob ordens de Lord Roberts durante a Segunda Guerra Boer, e um grande viajante. Ficou conhecido pelos serviços prestados no exército colonial britânico e por ter ensinado woodcraft a Robert Baden-Powell, sendo está uma das influências mais notaveis do fundador do escotismo. Tal como Burnham, Baden-Powell era um batedor militar. Depois de servirem juntos na Campanha dos Matabeles em 1896, Baden-Powell tornou-se num amigo eterno e admirador de Burnham. No seu livro Correndo Riscos (Taking Chances), de 1944, descreve aquele primeiro encontro quando ele e Baden-Powell exploraram as Colinas de Matobo. Descreve também um pouco conhecido e interessante acontecimento histórico, com a dedicação do Monte Baden-Powell nas Sierras, em 1931. A dedicação do Monte Burnham nas Sierras foi em 1931. Para o Exército Britânico, foi durante a Segunda Guerra Boer(1899-1902) que a necessidade de ter unidades mais especializadas se tornou mais aparente. Unidades de batedores tais como os Lovat Scouts, um regimento das Terras Altas da Escócia especializado em tácticas militares. Esta unidade foi formada em 1900 pelo Lord Lovat e no inicio reportava ao americano, Major Burnham.

- Frederick Russell Burnham: Explorer, discoverer, cowboy, and Scout. Native American, he served as chief of scouts in the Boer War, an intimate friend of Lord Baden-Powell. It was on some of his exploits demanding great courage, alertness, skill in surmounting the perils of the out-of-doors, that the founder of Scouting based some of the activities of the Boy Scout program. As an honorary Scout of the Boy Scouts of America, he has served as an inspiration to the youth of the Nation and is the embodiment of the qualities of the ideal Scout.
- I know Burnham. He is a scout and a hunter of courage and ability, a man totally without fear, a sure shot, and a fighter. He is the ideal scout, and when enlisted in the military service of any country he is bound to be of the greatest benefit.
- I take this opportunity of thanking you for the valuable services you have rendered since you joined my headquarters at Paardeberg last February. I doubt if any other man in the force could have successfully carried out the thrilling enterprises in demanding as they did the training of a lifetime, combined with exceptional courage, caution, and powers of endurance.
- To my friendly enemy, Major Frederick Russell Burnham, the greatest scout of the world, whose eyes were that of an Empire. I once craved the honour of killing him, but failing that, I extend my heartiest admiration.
- To the Memory of the Child: Nada Burnham, who "bound all to her" and, while her father cut his way through the hordes of the Ingobo Regiment, perished of the hardships of war at Buluwayo on 19 May, 1896, I dedicate these tales—and more particularly the last, that of a Faith which triumphed over savagery and death.
