Our scouting division is one of the stronger aspects of Homenetmen Los Angeles chapter. Since the beginning of the chapter, the scouting division has been in full motion. Currently the numbers stand at approximately overall 120 scouts -- 25 boy scouts (Ari), 25 girl scouts (Arenoush), 25 cub scouts (Kailigs) & 15 brownies (Ardzvigs). It is affiliated with the Boy Scouts of America and is register there as Troop 923. The scouting division strongly follows the scouting educational values as well as teaches general Armenian history & geography. Scouting has deep roots in natural related activities such as hiking, camping & backpacking. To further develop a stronger bond with nature, the scouts have an annual weeklong camping trip in summer.

Scouting Activities
Throughout the year the scouting division holds various functions. During the Christmas season it has become a tradition for the scouts to visit the church to receive Holy Communion, as well as visit the "Ararat" Retirement Home to spread good cheer to the retirees. Another activity, which has already become a tradition in the scouting life, is the annual chocolate sale during springtime. The funds raised by this event are used to subsidize the costs of future activities and trips. It is noteworthy to mention that throughout the year each group has a variety of field trips stemming from social to educational.

Regional Activities
Throughout the year the Regional Scouting Council (RSC) plans numerous functions that aid in acquainting with other scouts from different chapters. The RSC planned the 3rd regional camp in 2000, at which the scouts had the opportunity to participate. Furthermore, the RSC has organized the St. Mesrob Emblem program, one of the more prestigious emblems that the Boy Scouts of America offers. Ever since 1983, the scouting division has used the fields of Rose & Alex Pilibos Armenian School for its Sunday gatherings from 10am-1pm.
