The American Legion believes there is no better way to assure the survival of our republic than to train our young people in the ideals and objectives of American government. By teaching youth to understand and appreciate the basic principles involved in the successful management of a democratic society, we can keep America strong and ensure freedom for future generations. These are the distinguished, long-standing objectives of American Legion Boys State.
They are accomplished through a unique summertime program, one that emphasizes not classroom lectures or textbook learning, but participation and personal experience in a model state, complete with its governing bodies and elected officials. For 75 years, young men chosen to be Boys State participants have been able to look forward to a wonderful and challenging experience. All who attend can acquire a better understanding and regard for two of our nation’s benefits: freedom and democracy.
American Legion Post 237 hosted a dinner and orientation session on Tuesday, May 8, honoring the Huntsville City and Madison County delegates to the upcoming 2012 Alabama Boys State session.
City Mayors for 2012 Alabama Boys State will be elected on Monday, June 11
