As we close out another incredible week at Buckeye Boys State, we are filled with pride, hope, and deep gratitude. Over the past week, we witnessed young leaders step into roles as mayors, legislators, judges, and citizens — each one learning the power of civic responsibility, service, and working across differences.

While the colors are retired, the Buckeye Boys State flag remains on stage and salutes you, the delegates of the 88th Session of the American Legion Buckeye Boys State, as you depart from Miami University.

To the delegates: Your energy, curiosity, and courage to lead gives us faith in the future of our country. You came together from all across Ohio, united by a desire to serve something greater than yourselves. Your example reminds us that leadership grounded in integrity and purpose will always matter.

To the Legionnaires, staff, and counselors who made this week possible: Thank you for showing up, sharing your wisdom, and investing into the next generation of public servants.

Help us spread the word for the 2027 program by speaking to your underclassmen and by having them follow us here and on Twitter and Instagram @OhioBBS.

To the future BBS class of 2027, we will see you in 356 days on June 13, 2027 for the 89th Session. But who’s counting?

For the last time: Gentlemen, this assembly is adjourned. We truly hope that this has been #AWeekToShapeALifetime.

It's not every day that you get to meet the Governor of Ohio, but at Buckeye Boys State, it does seem to happen every year! Thank you to @govmikedewine for taking the time to speak with delegates today, and for meeting with members of Governor Jensvold's cabinet and for press gaggling with the @bbshetuck correspondents. For his dedication and support for BBS, we were proud to induct Governor DeWine into the BBS Hall of Fame, and sincerely hope he applies to join our staff next year. by @bbshetuck
