"A Young Scout's Duty" is a poignant painting created by British artist Ernest Stafford Carlos in 1910. Carlos, who was an accomplished painter and illustrator, is perhaps best known for his works that capture the spirit and ethos of the early 20th-century Boy Scout movement. This particular painting is emblematic of his dedication to portraying the values of duty, service, and youthful idealism that were central to the Scouting ethos.

The painting depicts a young Boy Scout standing resolutely, with a background that suggests a scene of action or emergency. The scout's posture and expression convey a sense of readiness and determination, embodying the Scout motto, "Be Prepared." The detailed rendering of the scout's uniform and the careful attention to the surrounding elements highlight Carlos's skill in capturing both the physical and emotional essence of his subjects.

"A Young Scout's Duty" was created during a time when the Boy Scout movement, founded by Robert Baden-Powell in 1907, was rapidly gaining popularity in the United Kingdom and beyond. The movement emphasized outdoor skills, self-reliance, and community service, ideals that are vividly brought to life in Carlos's work. The painting not only serves as a visual representation of these principles but also as a historical document reflecting the societal values of the time.

Ernest Stafford Carlos himself was deeply involved in the Scouting movement, which is evident in the authenticity and heartfelt nature of his work. His paintings, including "A Young Scout's Duty," have been celebrated for their ability to inspire and educate, making significant contributions to the visual culture of the Boy Scouts. Today, this painting is appreciated not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural and historical significance, offering a window into the early days of Scouting and the enduring values it promotes.
