    HOMENETMEN EAST COAST PANAGOUM (DAY FOUR)

    Armenian Weekly
    Aug 22, 2011

    Saturday Aug. 20 was the last full day at Camp Spencer. Throughout
    the day, the scouts put final touches on their hand made towers and
    bridges and finished practicing their skits and songs for the night's
    kharougahantes (bonfire).

    the arrival of parents, family, and friends at 6 p.m. The closing
    ceremony began an hour later. The scouts dressed in full uniform
    and the ceremony was led by Siran Krikorian from Providence. Here,
    Untanoor Khempabed Hovsep Minassian and the East Coast Regional Scout
    Leader Aline Baghdassarian delivered remarks and thanked those who
    contributed to this event. Pokh Khempabed Raffi Rachdouni distributed
    certificates to the scouts who came first at the rally-hike and those
    who won the best craftsmanship competition.

    Lastly, the Kayleegs and Ardzveegsreceived an assortment of merit
    badges from Annie Dairbi. Other speakers included: Heghig Margosian
    on behalf of the Eastern Regional Scout Committee, Hovsep Avakian on
    behalf of Washington D.C.'s Gomideh, and Der Sarkis Aktavoutkian.

    After the closing ceremony, the parents were invited to dinner with
    the scouts, followed by the kharougahantes. The night turned out to
    be a huge success.

    On behalf of the scouts who attended Homenetmen's 25th Eastern Regional
    Panagoum, I would like thank the Eastern USA Regional Executive and
    Scout Committees along with Aram Kayserian and Aline Baghdassarian for
    assisting us throughout the Panagoum. Also, a special thank you to the
    panagoum's Khempabedagan Gazm, Hovsep Minassian, Raffi Rachdouni, Lori
    Pilibosian for all their efforts to ensure a fun and safe panagoum.

    On Sunday, the scouts said goodbye to each other and returned to their
    homes looking forward to prepare for an even more fun and successful
    panagoum next year.
