Boys Nation is an annual forum concerning civic training, leadership, and Americanism that is run by the American Legion. Each year, two delegates in the summer after their junior year of high school are selected from each of the forty-nine American Legion Boys State programs in the U.S. (Hawaii does not host a Boys State). These delegates attend the week-long event in Washington, DC. Senators tour D.C. memorials, get private tours of the United States Supreme Court, Congress, and State Department. The American Legion Auxiliary runs a similar event called Girls Nation.
