WHY BOYS/GIRLS STATE??

Attention Juniors. If this is your dream, your ideal summer should include Summer Seminars and Boys/Girls State. The month of June will be one of the ages!

Boys/Girls State is a jam-packed, 1-week American Legion program that teaches students about the American democratic process. Academies highly value it in their admissions scoring.

Whereas Summer Seminar gives you a taste of cadet/mid life, Boys/Girls State actually gives you points that makes your application more competitive. If there’s a conflict between Summer Seminar and Boys State, choose Boys State.

Google your state’s Boys/Girls State and search for the application! They are usually due in Feb-March timeframe, but each state is different.
