The Boy Scouts International Bureau, forløperen til dagens WOSM, ble dannet under 2. verdenskonferanse i WOSM 22.–29. juli 1922, 15 år etter speidingens start i 1907.

Lederen av International Bureau John Skinner Wilson forteller om dette i sin bok "Scouting Round the World", 1959:

The Constitution was formally adopted at what was designated the Second International Scout Conference, held in Paris in July 1922. The first International Committee was elected, and it is of interest to record the names and to indicate the countries from which they came. It is important to note, however, that a member of the Committee is not a representative of his country, but elected because of his interest in and knowledge of International Scouting and its needs and problems. At the same time it has proved valuable to the Committee that its members are drawn from different parts of the globe and have a more intimate knowledge of Scouting in those parts.
