 Homenetmen

Picture
History and Mission

The Homenetmen is a non-profit organization founded more than 85 years ago in Constantinople by Shavarsh Krisian, Hovhannes Hintlian and Krikor Hagopian. The mission of the Homenetmen is to promote physical, moral and psychological education outside the school environment. In addition, perpetuation of Armenian culture and heritage is a primary objective, while preparing the youth to assume roles as upstanding citizens within their respective countries and communities. These objectives are accomplished through Scouting and Athletic programs, which provide numerous activities and events throughout the year. The website is: www.homenetmen.com  

Scouts

The Homenetmen Eastern USA provides more than 500 scouts the opportunity to learn about themselves as Armenians, while developing in each individual a sense of social and moral responsibility. The program is developed and implemented by a Scout Council, appointed by the Regional Executive. The scouting program encompasses the following areas:·     Seminars on scouting and Armenian-related topics·     Camping trips·     Field trips to museums and amusement parksThe scouting program is supplemented by illustrated manuals written in the Armenian language. Following the completion of each educational manual, a final exam is administered, and those who pass receive the appropriate badge and certificate. 

Athletics

The athletic division of the Homenetmen in the Eastern US has a membership of nearly 700 young Armenians. The division sponsors local league competitions as well as major regional sporting events such as the Annual Inter-Chapter games. Team and individual sports include:
