There is time to register for Boys State

High school boys currently in their junior year are registering for the 2025 Boys State session at St. John’s University June 8-14 at www.mnboysstate.org.

At that website, you and others interested can find more information about the week of developing leadership skills and learning about Minnesota government at the city/township, county and state levels.

Are you interested in being a counselor or visiting during the week? Contact Jennifer at jkelley@mnlegion.org.

If you haven’t a high school representative yet, reach out to past years’ Boys Staters from your area to help you recruit for the upcoming week.

Saturday of Boys State is recognition day. Scholarships, team sport awards, test awards, and Boys Nation selections will be made known. Hugs and tears close out the productive week, as the young men travel back to their hometowns.

We appreciate all you do to promote the program and support those attending!

Neil Kruse is a counselor for Minnesota American Legion Boys State.
