I forgot to pack something. Can my parents drop it off/ship it to me? To what address should my parents send packages?

Parents can either drop off forgotten items or have them shipped. Drop offs can be made to either a member of the Program Staff or the American Legion at the program office in the residence hall.

Parents who wish to ship forgotten items may do so by sending it to the following address:

USPS
Student’s Name
Boys State
303 Union Avenue, STE 1401
Hammond, LA 70402
(We highly recommend using USPS over UPS or FedEx because of simpler/faster delivery times on campus.)
UPS or FedEx
Student’s Name
Boys State
303 Union Avenue, STE 1401
Hammond, LA 70402

In the case of forgotten prescription medication, parents in the past have also had prescriptions called in to a local pharmacy. Parents are responsible for any delivery charge.
