Boys Nation

Each year two Boys? State citizens from Michigan are fortunate enough to be selected to be delegates to Boys? Nation which occurs in the summer in Washington D.C.. At Boys' Nation, delegates simulate the inner workings of the federal government along with 96 other students who have been selected from Boys? State programs across the United States.

Interested candidates get an application to fill out from their counselor. The Senior Boys? State Staff hold the initial interviews for Boys? Nation. The Senior Staff recommendations are then forwarded to the American Legion Committee Members who, after interviews, make the final decision regarding the two principal delegates and the two alternate selections for Boys? Nation.

One of the highest honors for any Boys? State citizen is to be selected to attend Boys? Nation. It is truly the best and the brightest Boys? Staters who are considered for this national program.
