The Virginia Boys
State is a comprehensive one-week course in state and
local government. Virginia American Legion Boys State is
a "leadership action program"
where qualified male high school rising seniors take part in
a practical government course. It is designed to develop a
working knowledge of the structure of government and to impress
upon the citizen the fact that our government is just what
we make it. Along the way they will have the opportunity to
learn the political process. Each level of government will
be run by those delegates who are elected to serve. Instruction
will be presented on the law and court system, parliamentary
procedure and Virginia political history.
