The purpose of the orientation is to acquaint young men with Buckeye Boys State who are selected to attend and help them and their parents prepare for attendance at Boys State. Young men and their parents will have an opportunity to meet the other Boys State delegates from their locale and ask questions about the Boys State program. Generally, a short film or slide presentation on Buckeye Boys State will be presented by the Boys State staff member conducting the orientation. It is the responsibility of the sponsoring Post to notify a young man and their parents of the time and place of the orientation in their area. In many instances, the Legionnaires in an area will provide transportation for the delegates to the orientation site.
Parents are always welcome to attend.
If a young man is unable to attend an orientation he may attend one in another area. The 1998 Buckeye Boys State Orientation schedule has been distributed to the delegates selected.
