The Cornwell Scout Badge is a gallantry award of The Scout Association of the United Kingdom and some of its branches in other countries. The award was named in honour of Jack Cornwell, a navy sailor and Scout, who was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross after he was mortally wounded at the Battle of Jutland in 1916. It is awarded in recognition of devotion to duty, courage and endurance.
