The American Legion Boys State of Missouri provides young men with a broad understanding of the privileges and responsibilities of citizenship and a better understanding of how our government works. It is expected that each citizen will take the ideas and knowledge he has gained through Missouri Boys State and apply them in his own high school and community.

During the week of Boys State, citizens participate in a wide variety of educational and recreational activities and hear inspirational talks from both state and national leaders. Many of the nationally known speakers who appear at Missouri Boys State are funded by the Trust. In addition, the Trust assists with registration fees for eligible citizens and college scholarship funds. The Trust also funds a small portion of Boys State recruiting and administrative costs and various special projects, which enhance the Boys State experience.
