Welcome to The American Legion Boys State of Minnesota website. We are excited about our 61st session and our
3rd year on the beautiful Southwest Minnesota State University campus in Marshall, Minnesota. The 2009 session
of the Minnesota Boys State is June 14 - 20. This year we are expecting over 450 delegates! I would like for
you to be part of this year's class.
The purpose of this site is to better explain what you can expect from your Boys State experience. If I can be of
assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.
The efforts of many people and organizations are necessary to provide such a program for more than 450 of Minnesota's
best. A dedicated staff of volunteers organize the program and guide the delegates throughout the week. In addition,
many American Legion Posts sponsor delegates and financially support Boys State. The gratitude of the MN Boys State staff
goes out to all.
Sincerely,
Michael M. Bredeck
The American Legion Boys State Director of Minnesota
