The resolution adopted by the Ohio House of Representatives expresses support for the American Legion Buckeye Boys State and the American Legion Auxiliary Buckeye Girls State programs. These initiatives aim to provide educational and leadership opportunities to the youth of Ohio, focusing on the principles of democracy and civic engagement. The Buckeye Boys State program, established in 1936, engages over 1,200 young men from nearly 600 high schools in an immersive experience that teaches them about government operations and political processes. Similarly, the Buckeye Girls State program, founded in 1946, educates young women on citizenship responsibilities and government functions through hands-on activities such as workshops, legislative sessions, and debates.

The resolution highlights the importance of these programs in developing leadership skills, self-confidence, and character among participants. It calls for the support and encouragement of these initiatives as they continue to shape the future leaders of Ohio. Additionally, the resolution mandates that authenticated copies be sent to both the American Legion programs and the media to raise awareness of their contributions to youth education and leadership development in the state.
