Boys' State/Girls' State

Pre-College Issues Summer Programs

<p>I'm going to Missouri Boys State, and I'm really excited about the speakers that they have lined up.
The "speaker-of-the-week," if you will, is Mike Huckabee. I'm not a huge Huckabee fan, but i'm still really excited to get to hear him speak.
then they have the three major candidates running for Governor in MO next year.
they then have a marine that has served 4 tours of duty, and this is after he was a presidential scholar coming out of college. Oh, he's also a gold-glove boxer. He's supposed to be one of the more popular speakers.</p>

<p>then i'm forgetting one other person...</p>

<p>anyway, i was wondering if anybody knew who the other boys'-state/girls's-state programs were getting.
also, is anybody else going to MO's Boy State?</p>
