2023 Boys State
In March, on two different Wednesdays, our Post members interviewed young men from five high schools and three scout troops to be selected to represent our Post at Boys State. From this interview process, 18 delegates will be sponsored. These 18 young men will attend the Department of Virginia Boys State at Radford University from June 18-24. In the past couple of years, delegates from our Post have ascended to positions as the Governor, Chief Justise of the Supreme Court, selected to attend Boys Nation and winner of the Samsung Scholarship. I want to thank the members of the interview panel that included representatives from the Legion and SAL for their hard work and efforts in helping to make these selections.
2021 Boys State
Post 177 Boys State Delegate Aryan Hamdard from Fairfax High School was voted in as the 2021 Boys State Governor. The swearing in was conducted by the Boys State Chief Justice Caleb Kuo from Woodson High School, who is also a Post 177 Boys State Delegate. Both state offices are elected positions by the delegates at Boys State and is a reflection of Aryan and Caleb’s hard work and leadership skills. Having two delegates from the same American Legion Post achieve these two elite positions is a rare and high honor.
