Tonight, on Memorial Day, our delegates spent the evening with the veterans who built this program and the country it serves. To every Legionnaire who joined us tonight: thank you for your service, and thank you for investing in the next generation of leaders.

🎥 Every legacy has a starting point. For Dr. Lloyd Jackson, it started with Arkansas Boys State. Before he was Executive Director, he was a delegate who decided to attend. Now he’s helping shape the next generation of leaders, and you could too. Join the legacy!

Leadership doesn’t start overnight—it’s built over generations. Arkansas Boys State has been shaping leaders for 85 sessions. The road to Session 85 begins now. #ARBS2026
