Scouting and Guiding in Armenia
The Scout and Guide movement in Armenia is served by
- Hayastani Azgayin Skautakan Sharjum Kazmakerputiun, member of the World Organization of the Scout Movement
- National Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts of Armenia, member of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts
- Armenian General Benevolent Union
Because of Armenia's longstanding diaspora, there are several extranational Armenian Scout and Scout-like organizations. Expatriate Armenian Scout associations include the three traditional Armenian diaspora political groupings the Dashnaks, Hnachags and the Ramgavar:
- Hai Ari (1929–1998); World Organization of the Scout Movement membership withdrawn in 1997 in favor of Hayastani Azgayin Skautakan Sharjum Kazmakerputiun
- Homenetmen - connected to the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (Dashnak Party)
- Homenmen - connected to the Social Democrat Hunchakian Party
- Armenian Young Men's Society-Hoyetchmen and Armenian Young Men's Society-Armenagan in Jerusalem - both connected to the Armenian Democratic Liberal Party (Ramgavar Party)
- Armenian Young Men's Association in Nicosia
Most of the expatriate groups are also integrated in the national Scout or Guide organizations of their host countries.
