Answer
Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of the Scouting movement, was taught outdoor skills by Frederick Russell Burnham, an American scout and adventurer. Burnham imparted his knowledge of woodcraft, tracking, and survival techniques to Baden-Powell during their time together in the British South Africa Company's forces in the late 1800s. These teachings became the foundation of Scouting's outdoor activities and contributed to the organization's emphasis on self-reliance and outdoor exploration.
