Gem Boys State is a political science experience for juniors in Idaho High
Schools. The program strives to educate young men about the three branches
of government: legislative, judicial and executive, on the three levels
of local government in Idaho: city, county and state.
Boys State is a
week-long program held every summer at Gowen Field in Boise. This year's
program will run from Sunday, June 6 to Saturday, June 12. The week will
culminate with a two day governing excercise at the Idaho State Capitol.
Boys State is a
"hands on" experience, where young men learn about government by forming
city, county and state governments. Gem Boys State is in its 56th year.
