Attention Junior Boys: Are you interested in being a leader? Are you interested in government or the military? American Legion Boys State is among the most respected educational programs of government instruction for high school students, and is considered a highly regarded leadership training program. Each participant becomes a part of the operation of his local, county and state government. This program is a door to wonderful opportunities for public service, volunteerism, college scholarships and is a heavy resume-builder.
