What a great reminder for election week:
We can compete on the playing field and still pursue BROTHERHOOD!
These two PBS “Poco” Brothers have stayed connected and are living out the bonds built last June at AU! #WeAreBoysState

Dir. Bennett shared about 3 groups that make PBS possible: @AmericanLegion, PBS Staff & most of all, our outstanding Jr & Sr Counselors. Tucker Hipps was selected as a counselor because he was one of the best. We are so appreciative for the support from TuckerGives.org!

Outstanding day at the Tucker Hipps Memorial Golf Tournament! The proceeds from today’s TuckerGives.org event will support many worthwhile efforts including @SCBoysState & PredestinedOutreach.org. Check out the multiple posts & pics at our FB page: facebook.com/share/p/mZe4mpQ…

10 years have passed since the day our Boys State Brother Tucker Hipps left this place. Our prayers continue for his family and our gratitude grows for the work his parents Cindy & Gary do to educate, challenge & protect students across this Nation. #HippsDontLie #WeAreBoysState

What a symbol of America and our founding and freedom!
Last year, during a July 4th celebration, this image was captured by the daughter of our staff member Ryan Ellenburg.
Happy Independence Day as we celebrate the beginning of our great Nation 248 years ago!!! #USA 🇺🇸
