Hell's Bells and Oriental Smells!
The lack of woodscraft displayed by city boys during to Matabele and Boer Wars is the very thing that led Lord Baden-Powell to found, with able assistance from Fredrick Burnham, the Boy Scout Movement in the first place.
Burnham, btw, was an American frontier scout, and a veteran of the Matabele Wars, were his exploits behind enemy lines gained him much fame. He also began his friendship with Lord B-P at that time.
