   Ralph and Jack decide to go and find the beast because as the unspoken leaders of the island of boys, they have to. Jack does so because he wishes to hunt and kill the beast; while Ralph does so because he doesn't wish to lose face before the other boys. This is early in the novel, so Jack and Ralph are still vying for the leadership and for the allegiance of the boys. Do a search for this question, as a similar question has been asked before.

   Good luck!
