Eagle Scout from Denver, Colorado, who was stopping over in Luna while emigrating to Venus. He was determined to make Eagle Scout for Earth, Luna, and Venus, the first and probably only Triple Eagle in history, even though he had only three weeks in Luna. While on a two-man camping trip with an experienced Lunar Scout he saved himself and the other boy after they fell into a morning glory, and there is a hint at the end of the story that he would indeed make Eagle.
A sinkhole formation in the lunar surface, often covered by a thin crust that makes it impossible to spot. If someone falls in, the crumbling sides make it impossible to get out.
Lunar Eagle Scout and Senior Patrol leader who was assigned to keep track of Bruce Hollifield. He injured a leg falling into a morning glory and was rescued by Bruce.
Boy Scouts play a central role in Farmer in the Sky, "Nothing Ever Happens on the Moon", and "The Black Pits of Luna" (not surprising since the first two stories were written for the Boy Scout magazine Boys' Life).
