A child born in America can still be Vietnamese.
A Vietnamese born in America.
Hội Hướng Đạo Việt Nam ở Hoa Kỳ. For youth aged 6 to 21, their parents and their Trưởng.
The brotherhood of Hướng Đạo Việt Nam
The kind a Vietnamese child is meant to keep for life.
Việt Identity is not a class we teach on Sunday. It is sprinkled generously through the whole scouting program, until a child does not have to be told who they are.
Trưởng ask a Hướng Đạo Sinh where he is from, and he answers: I am a Vietnamese born in America. The Tên Rừng he is given is Vietnamese. The songs at Lửa Trại are Vietnamese. The brothers he makes are Vietnamese, and they are meant to last his life.
In the end, Việt Identity will be a choice for each person. We invite you to be Vietnamese.

Mission
Chí Khí
Character
Built one Hướng Đạo Sinh at a time. A đoàn does not exceed 32, because you can instruct a thousand children at once and educate none of them.
Bản Sắc Việt
Việt Identity
Every camp cooks with nước mắm. We sing Vietnamese songs. We remember and know who we are.
Ngoài Trời
Outdoor
Fifteen nights under the sky each year, one camp at least five nights long. Rain, heat, hunger and tiredness are the curriculum.
Tâm Linh
Spirituality
Tĩnh Tâm at camp, and a promise made on honour to do one's duty to one's faith and to one's country.

A lashing holds because it crosses, and so does a đội.
- 4 to 8
- HĐS in one độiEach đội elects its own đội trưởng and đội phó
- 32
- Maximum in one đoànBecause education happens one child at a time
- Weekly
- The đội meetsRun by the đội trưởng, not by a Trưởng
- Monthly
- Hội Đồng Đoàn meetsThe đội trưởng plan the month ahead
The Patrol is the character school for the individual. To get first-class results you have to give the boy leaders real free-handed responsibility. If you only give partial responsibility you will only get partial results.
Baden-Powell, Aids to Scoutmastership
Tòa Án Danh Dự, the court of honour, is đội trưởng only. No đội phó, no trưởng. They decide reward and discipline in the đoàn themselves, which is the point.
