Biography (BLP?) of a former chief executive of the Canadian chapter of an international organization, not reliably sourced as passing our notability standards for organizational chief executives. Winning the organization's own internal awards for its own internal work is not a notability freebie if your only source is the organization's own self-published content about itself -- the extent to which any award counts as a notability-maker for Wikipedia purposes hinges on the extent to which that award does or doesn't get media coverage to establish its significance, and simply using primary sources to verify the award isn't enough. But the only other source being cited here at all was also self-published by the organization, and nothing stated in the article is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have any independent sources.

 * Delete The article lacks any indepdent reliable sources that give indepth coverage. As a scouting official any scouting publications are not indepdent enough to show notability. The key to showing that winning the Bronze Wolf makes someone notable would be finding sources that are indepdent of scouting that mention that someone won it. None are presented here.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:10, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
