    The American Legion and the American Legion Auxiliary sponsor yearly programs called the Boys and Girls State respectively, a program started in 1935 to counter the fascist-inspired Young Pioneer Camps.

    In Tennessee, the programs consist of sending select high school juniors to a six-day camp where participants are exposed to the rights and privileges, the duties and the responsibilities of a franchised citizen. The training is objective and practical with city, county and state governments operated by the students elected to the various offices. Activities include legislative sessions, court proceedings, law enforcement presentations, assemblies, bands, chorus and recreational programs.
