Boys Nation is a nationwide program of the American Legion which teaches federal government policies and practices to high school juniors in a week-long simulation. Selection to the program is through 48 American Legion Boys' State programs throughout the country. Two delegates represent each state as senators. During their week in the the nation's capital they held mock senate sessions and conducted elections for President and Vice President. In addition to this 'learning by doing' activity, they toured many of Washington's historic sites. [From http://www.legion.org/boysnation/]

Each year, two participants from Missouri Boys State are seleceted to be delegates to Boys Nation, held in Washington D.C. Names are sorted by year of attendance.
