Badger Girls State is a very important part of the American Legion Auxiliary's Americanism program. This program is designed to train future stateswomen in the science of government. The purpose of this program:
- To develop leadership and pride in American citizens.
- To educate citizens about our system of government.
- To instill a greater understanding of American traditions.
- To stimulate a desire to maintain our democratic government processes.
Badger Boys State is an experience like none other. It may be quickly described as a program which teaches the workings of government "by doing;" but it is much more than that. It is a week long journey through a great many things that make us who we are; leaders, friends, students, athletes, and most of all citizens of our respective cities, towns, and our great state.
