American Legion Boys State


One of the most respected educational programs of government instruction in our nation. It is designed to mirror the structure and operation of state governments while imparting citizenship, leadership and character development through a non-partisan perspective. Boys State has been a program of the National Americanism Commission of The American Legion since 1935. City, county, and state governments at Boys State are operated by officials duly elected and appointed to office by its “citizens.” Activities include legislative sessions, court proceedings, law enforcement presentations, program assemblies, bands, chorus, and recreational programs. Young men who have completed their junior year of high school and receive a recommendation from school officials are interviewed and selected by American Legion posts to attend Boys State. Costs are generally paid by a sponsoring American Legion post, local business, or another community-based organization. Two outstanding participants of each Boys State program are selected to attend American Legion Boys Nation in Washington D.C. Objectives are similar to Boys State, except the focus is the study of the federal government.
