Please Note:

Early release will be made only in an emergency, accident or illness. Requests to leave early for other reasons will not be considered. The Boys State pin, diploma and yearbook will be given out to the delegates only at the final city meeting held back at the city location after the graduation ceremony. Therefore, it is assumed that all boys who are accepted and report for Jersey Boys State, and have signed the back of the "Permit to Register" card, along with their parents, understand that they will not be permitted to leave Boys State before the end of the program on Friday.

Families, members of sponsoring groups and school administrators will be welcome on Friday late morning at 11:00 am for Fourth Annual Family Day picnic. The picnic will take place (weather-permitting) on the main mall located directly behind the main campus gates at Rider U. Events include performances by the Boys State Band, the ALJBS Championship Race, and a meet-and-greet with other delegates in the cities, members of the ALJBS staff and members of the American Legion. This event will be followed by the band concert and the final general assembly in the Alumni Gym. Upon completion of the General Assembly, delegates will proceed back to their dorms where they will pick up their ALJBS pins, graduation certificate, final city rosters and ALJBS yearbook. These small ceremonies back at the cities will end at approximately 4:30 pm at which point the delegates are free to depart.
