Two Boy Scouts

Two Boy Scouts in Scoutmaster Havelock's troop defy orders during a desert expedition in the American Southwest. They climb the rocky base of an ancient cliffside Pueblo settlement despite warnings of miles-long labyrinthine passageways. Their bold move ignores the Scoutmaster's command to stay put, exposing the group's divide between discipline and youthful daring. This act foreshadows risks in sacred sites and mirrors young Indiana Jones's curiosity, as the troop halts near the ruins amid Herman's horsesickness.
