On Sunday, October 19, 2025, the scouts of the Homenetmen Sipan Chapter of Burbank participated in the Divine Liturgy celebrated at St. Leon (Ghevontiants) Armenian Cathedral in Burbank. The scouts took part in the solemn requiem service offered in memory of the founders of Homenetmen, honoring their legacy of service, discipline, and dedication to Armenian youth. During the service, the Diocesan Primate commended the scouts for their noble mission and steadfast commitment to the values of faith, community, and leadership. The scouts also received Holy Communion, reaffirming their spiritual connection to the Armenian Church and its teachings.
Following the Divine Liturgy, the scouts gathered in the Cathedral’s Turpanjian Plaza, where they were photographed with the Primate, marking the occasion with fellowship and pride. Homenetmen Sipan Chapter continues to uphold its mission to cultivate and empower youth by fostering excellence, inclusivity, and joy within the community. Through their active participation in the life of the Church, the scouts exemplify the enduring partnership between Homenetmen and the Western Diocese in nurturing the next generation of faithful and service-minded Armenians.
