Yoritake Matsudaira (松平賴武 Matsudaira Yoritake?, born August 17, 1938 in Kagawa, Japan) present Chairman of Hongō Gakuen,[1] served as the International Commissioner and member of the Board of Directors of the Scout Association of Japan, as well as a member of the Asia-Pacific Regional Scout Committee and a founding member of the World Buddhist Scout Brotherhood.

In 2012, Matsudaira was awarded the 337th Bronze Wolf, the only distinction of the World Organization of the Scout Movement, awarded by the World Scout Committee for exceptional services to world Scouting, at the 25th World Scout Conference. As his father Yorihiro Matsudaira received the award in 1981, this is the first and thus far only time a father and son have both been awarded the Bronze Wolf.
Matsudaira, whose namesake was a daimyo of the Edo period, the fourth lord of Takamatsu, is the 14th head of the Matsudaira family. As a Scout, he traveled to Texas and New Mexico in the United States and was a guest on a military base. After graduation from Waseda University, he worked for Toshiba. Now he is the president of Hongō Junior and Senior High School in Tokyo (本郷学園 Hongō Gakuen). One of his hobbies is horseback riding, he is an amateur radio aficionado,[2] and he gives lectures about the advantages of Scouting activities.
