Scouting

Homenetmen of Boston has had an increasingly productive scout troop in the last few years. With over 160 scouts in our troop, ages 4 and up, and more than 25 leaders, weekly meetings are held during which the scouts are taught Armenian history, culture, and scouting knowledge. We prepare our scouts one week at a time to become respectful, and knowledgeable humans.

Throughout the year, the scouts have events planned outside of their weekly activities. Using knowledge obtained from weekly scouting, the scouts go to hiking, seminars, camping trips, and more. They also attend regional events through which they build friendships that last a lifetime. The leaders provide good examples for the younger scouts to follow, and serve as roll models for them.

The scouts meet every Saturday from 1pm – 3pm at the A.C.E.C. (directions) and each week the leaders teach them something new, from general Homenetmen knowledge, to scouting history, to ganches, songs, knots and activities to bring them closer as a group. Our scouts have a very promising future ahead of them, and are all working to learn as much as possible as they get closer and closer to attending the Worldwide Homenetmen Scouting Jamboree in Armenia.
