Boys Nation

Two delegates will represent Texas Boys State at the American Legion Boys Nation program in Washington, DC. Senior staff members nominate candidates based on:

• general knowledge;
• motivation;
• leadership;
• adaptability to stress;
• oral and written communication;
• personal qualities;
• priorities;
• courtesy; and
• human relations.

The Boys Nation selection committee interviews the nominees and selects two primary delegates to attend the July conference, as well as two back-up delegates in the event the primary delegates cannot attend.
