Burnham has a very prominent place in BSA history. James E. West recognized Burnham's significant contributions to the Scouting movement by making him an Honorary Scout, writing his biography (He-who-sees-in-the-dark), awarding him a Silver Buffalo, and proving support for the naming of Mt. Baden-Powell and even asking Burnham to deliver the keynote dedication speech. It is also no coincidence that Mt. Burnham lies next to Mt. Baden-Powell, and that the BSA was prominent at both dedications.
