ACT TESTING

The ACT test will be given the morning of June 14, 2008 at various locations across the state.  Generally, the test concludes around 12:30 p.m.  Registration for Missouri Boys State begins at 12:15 p.m.   All students MUST arrive no later than 6:00 p.m.  We recommend that students arrive in time for the first city meeting which is around 3:30 p.m.   Therefore, if you elect to take the test at your home location, please make sure you have plenty of time to travel to Warrensburg and make it to the first city meeting.

As with anytime you take the ACT test, you may select your test site location.  Which means you could take the test in Warrensburg if you sign up for this testing location.  However, most students choose to take the test at their home location unless they have 5 or more hours of travel time to Warrensburg (i.e., students from the bootheel).  In those few cases, we work with the students to ensure they have overnight arrangements.  Signing up for the test is still the student's responsibility. Please contact Missouri Boys State Headquarters for more information.

The American Legion Boys State of Missouri is an eight-day hands on experience in the operation and fundamentals of government. Missouri Boys State draws together the best and brightest high school juniors to help lead them down the path of individual success and leadership through "doing," not just learning.

One idea paramount above any other at Missouri Boys State: That the individual is the one with the power to change the world. Whether athlete or politician, journalist or scientist, each and every one of us has the power to make a difference in the world.

Using our democratic system as a basis, we equip the participants, or citizens, each year to construct their own state, utilizing the core values that hold true in our everyday lives. We teach the need for competition, the value of public office, the strength of the individual voice and vote. By reinforcing these basic American ideals, we help to shape the future of our society. This is what the American Legion Boys State of Missouri program is all about.
