Boy Scouts Troop

The Boy Scouts Troop, composed of boys around thirteen years old, joins Scoutmaster Havelock on a horseback expedition into the ancient Cliff Pueblo in the American Southwest desert. Their tight formation deceives distant observers into seeing Army cavalry. They dismount promptly on command and mock Herman mercilessly when horsesickness strikes him, blending discipline with youthful rowdiness. This group embodies the tension between structured adventure and impulsive curiosity near sacred sites.
