The Preamble to the Constitution of The American Legion states, among other worthy objectives, For God and Country we associate ourselves together… to foster and perpetuate one hundred percent Americanism; to inculcate a sense of individual obligation to the community, state and nation; to safeguard to posterity the principles of justice, freedom and democracy… We achieve these objectives by placing an Americanism program in the hands of youth.  This challenge has been met in West Virginia’s most popular school of Citizenship, which is The American Legion Mountaineer Boys State.  The goal of The American Legion Mountaineer Boys State is to educate and train you in understanding one of the country’s most precious freedoms; the democratic form of government.  It is hoped that you will use the knowledge gained to take an active role, not only in The American Legion Mountaineer Boys State, but in society as well.
