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.
