Walcott Auxiliary selects four for Girls State

Each year, the American Legion Auxiliary sends girls that have completed their junior year in high school to Girls State. Girls State is an inspirational, educational, fun and life-changing experience for young women. The program’s objective is to develop leadership skills, confidence and action-based understanding of the governmental process. The American Legion Auxiliary believes that educating youth about the basic ideals and principles of government will help ensure our democracy’s survival. This year, the Walcott American Legion Auxiliary is proud to be sending four very strong young women.
