One week of your summer can…

  • Distinguish you in the competition for college admissions and scholarships
  • Expand your leadership and problem-solving skills that will help you throughout life
  • Give you a huge head start in your senior government class
  • Introduce you to some of the smartest, most motivated high school juniors in Kansas
  • Establish lifelong friendships

…if you attend the American Legion Boys State of Kansas.


     We are looking forward to our 74th session and our 20th year on the beautiful Kansas State University campus in Manhattan, Kansas.

     The 2011 session runs from Sunday, June 5th - Saturday, June 11th.

     The purpose of this site is to better explain what you can expect from your 2011 Boys State experience. If I can be of assistance, please do not hesitate to contact the office by clicking the e-mail link on the right menu.
