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 service, 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.
