This summer, my son had the incredible opportunity to attend Badger Boys State in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. As a proud parent, it brought back memories of my own experience at Badger Girls State. I attended in 1989!
I found moments that tied the past, present and future together and without photos, it would sure be hard to tell the story.
Badger Boys State – Fostering Civic Duty
Attending Badger Boys State offers an opportunity for selected high school students to immerse themselves in a simulated government, honing their leadership skills and fostering a sense of civic duty. Some students become lifelong volunteers for the organization.
While Alex was at Badger Boys State in June, he met Tom, a 50 year volunteer of the program! Tom was honored during the Inauguration Ceremony that parents could attend. We saw Tom’s photos through the years of his journey and the memories shared at Badger Boys State.
Even though generations are far apart, the memories are the same. Click the image to watch the video.
Witnessing this heartfelt recognition was a reminder of the profound impact individuals can have on their communities. Something that seems to be declining in this day and age.
Reflecting on Alex’s Experience
As I watched Alex participate in Badger Boys State, I was full of joy and nostalgia. Seeing him take part in an event that shaped my own life was a heartwarming experience.
Memories of my time as a Badger Girls Senator came back and I had to search to find something that showed I was there! Took me a bit, but here are my documents from participating – the only photo I have was taken at my high school before school was out.
Our company’s commitment to preserving memories aligns perfectly with this sentiment. Badger Boys State has provided many countless boys and men the opportunity to serve in their communities, states and nationally.
