District Orientations

The American Legion California Boys State District  Orientations

 

Each of the 30 American Legion Districts in California conduct District Orientations to prepare their Delegates for their “Boys State Experience.” 

 

For 2022, these Orientations will take place on the American Legion California Boys State Virtual Platform. The scheduled Virtual Orientations have concluded.

 

 

A “Make Up” Orientation will be held on Tuesday, May 11, at 7:00 p.m. The login and password will be sent via a broadcast email by May 10. The login and password may also be obtained from any American Legion California Boys State Post or District Chair.

 

Along with providing all Delegates information about the program and what is planned for this year’s Session, Delegates will get a chance to become familiar with the platform. The Orientation Program is expected to be 45-60 minutes in length. All Delegates are expected to attend. Please log into your scheduled Orientation 5-10 minutes ahead of the scheduled start time.

 

To join your District Orientation, please go to: https://cbs.classrooms.cloud/ and use the login and password that will be provided.
