Homenetmen Gars

That’s a wrap on Summer Camp 2024! Our scouts enjoyed a weekend bonding with one another and making lasting camp memories. Scouts participated in a hike, knot & trial sign lectures, games, crafts, and kharouyg (campfire). Congrats to our Kaileeg/Ardzveegs for earning their art merit! Can’t wait for Fall Camp!

47th Navasardian Athletics Tournament! Our chapter and athletes made memories sure to last a lifetime with 2 soccer teams and individual athletes competing in track, swimming, tennis, ping-pong, and chess. As always they couldn’t have done it without the support of their coaches, parents, and chapter executives who make all their successes possible. Thank you to everyone involved for making this year such a success.

Our undefeated U10 soccer team! These athletes exceeded all expectations and won first place in their division!🥇Their teamwork, determination, and perseverance are inspiring. They couldn’t have done it without the support of their coaches, parents, and chapter. It’s takes a village just like the Homenetmen motto elevate yourself and others with you!

For most of our U7/8 athletes this was their first Navasartian tournament! Players and parents alike had so much fun during their 4 games. We can’t wait to see them grow their skills and come back stronger next year.!⚽️🥅

Gars Chapter athletes bringing the heat to track and field! Our athletes participated various races, shot-put, and long-jump. Congrats to all of our medalists! 🎖️

This weekend our scouts enjoyed our annual Day Camp. Scouts spent the day reviewing their Garks, finishing up merit badges, and taking their end of year tests. They also enjoyed playing soccer, working on their sharkain, and team building.

109 years after the Genocide of the Armenian people, the seeds that were scattered across the world have flourished into deep rooted communities. 🇦🇲 on Sunday, our scouts participated in the annual commemoration of the Armenian Genocide with scouts from around the Bay Area. On Monday our leaders had the honor of presenting the color guard and conducting the flag ceremony at both the California State Assembly and California State Senate. 🇦🇲

This weekend our scouts enjoyed the lovely weather and spent the day outside. Their focus was touching up and learning new sharkain hrahangs (marching commands) and continuing their good work on their gark books. Keep up the hard work!
