Homenetmen Providence Chapter

The Homenetmen Providence Chapter is a prominent athletic and scouting organization serving the Rhode Island diaspora as part of the Homenetmen Eastern USA Region. Originally established in 1923 and firmly reestablished in 1981, its central purpose is to guide the youth toward physical excellence and strong civic character while reinforcing a deep devotion to Armenian ideals. Operating closely with local community hubs like Sts. Vartanantz Armenian Apostolic Church, the chapter anchors its families through weekly scouting programs, competitive athletic teams—such as soccer and basketball—and active representation at regional Navasartian Games and global World Scouting Jamborees.
