This update details the refund process for the cancelled 2020 session of Boys State. Our staff is committed to ensuring that every party is treated fairly and justly. Promptly returning invested funds achieves that desired standard. 

Several parents, American Legion Posts, and other civic organizations have paid directly to the American Legion Headquarters. Refunds will be dispersed with the following guidelines. 

If the parent paid and listed their child’s name on their payment, the payment will go directly to them. 

If a post or organization (school, bank, civ organization, etc) paid, the payment(s) will be issued to them with the individual(s) name listed as to who they paid for. 

For organizations that have sent payment(s) without listing who they were paying for, Headquarters will clarify and settle on a case-by-case basis. 

Refunds will begin being issued this week. Please reach out for any more clarification.

The Department of Mississippi American Legion, Boys State Directors, and Senior Staff have been closely monitoring the situation regarding the COVID-19 Pandemic. Unfortunately, due to the rapid spread of COVID-19 throughout the U.S. as well as our own Mississippi, we feel it would be irresponsible and counterproductive to public health to hold Mississippi Boys State this year. It is with great counsel and caution that we have come to this decision.

We will begin a refund process for those who have completed registration and payment. Please remain patient during this time. Once this process is in place, you will be notified by email. Many of you will have questions, and we will do our best to answer them promptly. Direct all questions to our email found below. Please do remain patient with our staff as they take the time to respond to your inquiries.

In the meantime, let us all practice the guidelines set forth by the CDC as well as any directives from our state and local officials.

We wish good health to you all.
