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 Leadership Academy.

We are looking forward to our 75th session and our 21st year on the beautiful Kansas State University campus in Manhattan, Kansas.

The 2012 session runs from Sunday, June 3rd – Saturday, June 9th.

The purpose of this site is as a historical archive of our program session in photos and information since 1997. Once you have been through the program, this is where you will find copies of photos, election results, etc.

At any time you may return to this page by clicking on the Home link on the left menu.

If you would like to nominate a student for Boys State 2012 (or beyond), please fill out a nomination form.
