An International Central Committee on Vietnamese Scouting was established at a meeting held in Costa Mesa, California, on July 2-3, 1983. The following list of officer positions was agreed to; chairman, vice-chairman, secretary, assistant secretary, and treasurer.

Two appointed delegate positions were also agreed to; the delegate in charge of North America, and delegate in charge of communication and media.

The stated purpose of the committee "is a communication line and coordinating guide to comply with the policies of the World Bureau of Scouting, along with policies of activities of each recognized Scout association where they reside."

The Secretary General of the World Organization of the Scout Movement has recognized the establishment of this International Central Committee on Vietnamese Scouting.

The sole communication link between the International Central Committee on Vietnamese Scouting and the Boy Scouts of America is the Director of the International Division, BSA. Messages from this committee to the Scouting for the Vietnamese Committees located in several local BSA councils will be transmitted by the Director of the International Division through normal BSA operational channels.

Communications by the Scouting for the Vietnamese Committees located in several local BSA councils will be transmitted to the International Central Committee on Vietnamese Scouting only through the local council president/Scout executive to the Director of the International Division.

The service function to local council Scouting for the Vietnamese Committees is the responsibility of the Urban Emphasis Division in consultation with the International Division.

Interaction by Scouting for the Vietnamese Committees located in two or more local BSA councils is discouraged.
