American Legion Programs

The American Legion is involved in so many programs.  We will list a few that we actively or have supported in the past.  Unfortunately we are a small group of volunteers with limited funds available and we have to pick and choose what we can support depending on volunteers and costs. 

Boys State has been a very important program that we support for as long as anyone can remember.  We are fortunate to have the support of many community sponsors.  All total we usually send 8 plus boys to boys State.   Participants set up fictitious cities and a state, electing officials to govern each. Boys' State is overseen by the Boys' State Committee, its policy-making body. Two boys each year from the Boy's State in Austin are selected as members of Boys' Nation, held in Washington, D.C.
