Sons of the American Legion Squadron 454, Ridgeville Corners, OH have selected Nathan Dunstan (son of Jeff and Elizabeth and junior at Antwerp High School) to participate in American Legion Buckeye Boys State. American Legion Buckeye Boys State is an eight-day intensive education program on Ohio government for high school students where each participant becomes a part of the operation of a local, county and state government. Media are invited to cover participation in the program. Interviews with an American Legion Buckeye Boys State spokesman can be arranged.
At American Legion Buckeye Boys State, participants are exposed to the rights, privileges, duties and responsibilities of a franchised citizen. The training is objective and practical with a city, county and state government operated by the students elected to the various offices. Activities include legislative sessions, court proceedings, law enforcement presentations, assemblies, a band and recreation. High School juniors are selected by local American Legion posts.
American Legion Buckeye Boys State is to be held June 13-20, 2021 at the Campus of Miami University, Oxford OH
