[2] In 1910 their son Oleg Olegovich Pantyukhov, who served during World War II as General Eisenhower's official Russian interpreter, was born in Pavlovsk.

He organized the first Russian Scout troop Beaver (Бобр, Bobr) in Pavlovsk, a town near Tsarskoye Selo, on 30 April 1909.

[4] In the winter of 1910–11 Pantyukhov met Baden-Powell in Saint Petersburg and then visited Scout organisations in England, the Netherlands, Sweden and Denmark.

[2] In 1914, Pantyukhov established a society called Russian Scout (Русский Скаут, Russkiy Skaut).

During World War I, Pantyukhov received a Cross of St. George, was treated in Crimea and became the commander of the "Third Moscow School of Praporshchiks".

[3] In 1919 in Novocherkassk (controlled at the time by the White Army), Pantyukhov was unanimously elected the Chief Scout of Russia.

In Soviet Russia the Scouting system started to be replaced by ideologically-altered Scoutlike organizations, such as "ЮК" ("Юные Коммунисты", or young communists; pronounced as yuk), that were created since 1918.

The organization Русский Скаут then went into exile, and continued in many countries where fleeing White Russian émigrés settled, establishing groups in France, Serbia, Bulgaria, Argentina, Chile, and Paraguay.

A much larger mass of Russian Scouts moved through Vladivostok to the east into Manchuria and south into China.

[1] In 1922 Pantyukhov and his family moved to the United States,[1] where large troops of Russian Scouts were established in such California cities as San Francisco, Burlingame, Los Angeles, etc.
