Can I drive myself to the program in my own vehicle? What do I do if I drove myself?

Travel to the program is coordinated by each American Legion’s District Chairmen. Some Districts may organize a coordinated travel plan, including the use of chartered buses. Students from other Districts with closer proximity to Hammond and SLU’s campus may be responsible for providing their own transportation to the program, generally dropped off and picked up by parents. Contact your District contact person for verification of travel requirements from your area of the state.

Citizens who are not dropped off by parents but who have their vehicles remaining on campus must park in the campus lot designated by SLU Police and turn over keys to the Boys State Commission Chair or their designee for the length of the program. Keys are seals in signed envelopes and secured in lock-boxes within the program office for the week.
