Oklahoma American Legion Boys State is an incredible week sponsored by the American Legion of Oklahoma. At Boys State, participants learn about the rights and responsibilities of citizens, with training centered on the structure of city, country, and state governments.

 

Boys State was established in the 1930s as a way to counter anti-American activity during the pre-World War II era. It was so successful as a citizenship training activity that is remains the premier program of its type in the United States.

 

The delegate will not only learn how the American System of government and politics works theoretically, but also in a hands-on laboratory setting.  He will experience all of this as one of Oklahoma’s 700 "best and brightest" high school seniors to be.  It has been described as, and is “The week that shapes a lifetime.”
