| | '''Mount Burnham''' er en af de højeste tinder (2742 m) i San Gabriel Mountains <ref>http://www.peakbagger.com/peak.aspx?pid=1310 Mount Burnham på 'Peakbagger'</ref> i det sydlige Californien, ca 100 km fra Los Angeles. Oprindeligt blev den kaldt ''West Twin'', North Baldy Mountain; en af to tinder på en bjergkam. Den anden - ''East Twin'' (knap 1,5 km væk) - blev i 1931 kaldt [[Mount Baden-Powell]] efter [[Robert Baden-Powell]], og i 1951 blev så West Twin ved en officiel ceremoni opkaldt efter [[Frederick Russell Burnham]], den kendte stifinder og militære spejder, der i Afrika lærte B-P alt hvad han vidste om [[scoutcraft]], og blev en stor inspirator for B-P i forbindelse med grundlæggelsen af [[spejderbevægelsen]]. |
