Alabama Boys State

The American Legion believes that the survival of our republic rests on training our youth in the ideals and objectives of American government. Boys State is a unique summer program that does not rely on lectures and textbook scenarios, but hands on experience and participation in a model state government. The program teaches that the preservation of our democracy depends on informed citizens electing responsible officials to administer our government.


Alabama Boys State is one of the highest honors granted to Alabama students. Young men from across the state are chosen based on their demonstration of leadership. hard work, strong morals, and motivation in school and community activities. Boys State week is a full and active week held on the campus of Troy University.
