There are three options to enroll at Boys State.

  1. Contact your High School Counselor for registration information
  2. Contact your local American Legion Post Commander for more information.
  3. Contact Us directly to learn about how you can register.

If you are unable to find a sponsoring post, please contact Jennifer Kelly to find a post that will sponsor you.

Enrollment Limitation and Deadline

Enrollment is limited to 500 boys. Applications will be considered on a "First Come, First Served" basis, when accompanied with proper fee and form.

Sponsorship

EVERY BOY FOR WHOM APPLICATION IS MADE TO BOYS STATE MUST BE SPONSORED BY AN AMERICAN LEGION POST. A POST MAY SPONSOR AS MANY AS THEY DESIRE FROM ANY HIGH SCHOOL. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE CAN BE ACCEPTED FROM OUTSIDE SOURCES.

QUALITY and QUANTITY are requested and stressed. The boys sponsored must be selected in accordance with the rules prescribed herein. Boys must be chosen from among students who are in the upper one-half of their class scholastically.

Fees

Registration fee for sponsoring a boy is $260.00. ***Gambling funds may be used for the registration fee.
Checks must be made payable to the Minnesota American Legion Foundation (Fund 77) with Boys State Registration written in the memo section of the check.

Fee must be mailed with the application for sponsorship to:
Legion Boys State
The American Legion
20 West 12th Street
Room 300A
St. Paul, Minnesota 55155

Further instructions will be sent to the sponsoring Post Boys State Chairman and directly to the Boys Staters at a later date. Make checks payable to Legion Boys State.

Selection to Boys State is an honor. The $260 fee is the
responsibility of the sponsoring post or Department Headquarters,
not the Boys State candidate.

DEADLINE FOR MAKING APPLICATION and PAYMENT IS APRIL 1, 2010; AND FOR COMPLETING REGISTRATION, MAY 1, 2010.

If a Boys Stater is unable to attend, the sponsor should immediately notify Department Headquarters and designate who the alternate is.

There are no additional charges at Boys State, but the Student Union is available for usual items of confectionery and refreshments, so Staters may bring a small amount of spending money with them.
