Welcome everyone: inclusion and access are core to who we are
A Brief History
Founded in 1918, Homenetmen has served hundreds of thousands of youth across scouting troops, sports teams, and community programs worldwide. In Los Angeles, our chapters and programs have supported generations of student-athletes and scouts with a simple idea: stronger youth make stronger communities.
