Monday Afternoon Update
The Boys State Government is now forming. This morning, county office candidates got a chance to speak to their constituents. Meanwhile, each City Council had its initial meeting. The House of Representatives had its organizational meeting to selecte their leadership. In addition, the State Central Committees had their organizational meeting to select their leadership. Newly elected city clerks also received their training in the documentation of City Council Meetings. Check out a special Monday edition of the Boys State-ment, the newspaper created and published by Boys State citizens.

Boys State has been a tremendous experience for me. I have a passion for government and the atmosphere of Boys State is helping me nourish this passion. This experience has also helped me to meet many new people and expand my horizons. The knowledge I obtain here will greatly help me in becoming a future leader.
