The American Legion Boys State of Missouri
program was established in 1938 and is a statewide leadership & citizenship training program
specifically developed for high school juniors
who have distinguished themselves as leaders in
their school. During the 8-day program, the
young men experience government through a
"hands on learning" approach, enhance their
leadership skills, and develop an understanding
of their rights and responsibilities as citizens.
Using our democratic system as a basis, they
equip the participants, or citizens, to construct
their own state, utilizing the core values that
hold true in our everyday lives. They teach the
need for competition, the value of public office,
and the strength of the individual voice and vote.
Each candidate for Missouri Boys State must be
in their junior year of high school AND MUST
BE NOMINATED BY THEIR PRINCIPAL.
Only a few students are chosen from our nominees to attend Boys State.
If this is something you are interested in and
would like to be nominated, SEE MRS.
