Eligibility…
Attendance at Hoosier Boys’ State is limited to young men with at least one more semester’s credits to earn in High School. These gentleman are generally recommended by their respective principals/school administrators in cooperation with local American Legion representatives.
Expectations…
This is a program that encourages learning through participation. So we are looking for active, well-behaved young men who are leadership capable, politically minded, and have a drive to make a difference in their communities.
Commitment…
Once the delegate is selected he will have a sponsor that pledges 300 dollars for them attend. It is important to note that the money is committed whether the delegate attends or not. As a result, it is important to us that we keep as many of the expected attendee spots as full as possible. So please plan accordingly in conjunction to any commitments with other summer camps, ACT/SAT or school functions. To get the full experience you have to be here from beginning to end, the closing ceremony on Friday. If something unexpected has happened where you cannot attend, or must leave early in the week, please notify us or your district chairman ASAP so an alternate can fill your spot.
After reading above, if you qualify and feel you are a good candidate, or if you know someone that might be, please print and fill out the form here and send it to your local American Legion.
