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.
