First Scout

First Scout serves in Scoutmaster Havelock's Boy Scout troop trekking through the American Southwest desert toward an ancient Pueblo cliffside settlement. He spots fellow scout Herman vomiting from horsesickness and immediately calls out 'Herman’s horsesick!' to the group, sparking merciless mockery among peers. This action highlights the troop's rough camaraderie and impulsive group dynamics, which contrast with young Indiana Jones's disciplined curiosity about the site's mysteries. First Scout embodies the youthful bravado that tests authority and foreshadows risks in forbidden explorations.
