The second day of Badger Boys State began with the option of three religious services or one non-religious-based discussion about beliefs, which the citizens could attend if they chose not to attend a religious service. Seen here is the rabbi addressing a group of citizens during the Jewish service.

Next, the citizens all attended one of six political seminars, which ranged from how to successfully pass legislation at different levels of government to how to effectively write and deliver a speech. Here, Counselor Dave facilitates a large group of citizens while talking about current political issues. Citizens were encouraged to voice their opinions and debate with the other people in the room.

Today, the citizens were introduced to parliamentary procedure—the body of rules, ethics and customs governing meetings and other operations of organizations. Here, the citizens intently listen as counselors explain some of the basic rules. The citizens will now be expected to use parliamentary procedure in all meetings.

After lunch, the citizens broke up to have a city party caucus, which is a selection process for whom will run for city positions. They wasted no time starting to campaign for their respective positions. Citizens are seen here making signs—purchased with Badger bucks—that were then distributed around their dorm for everyone to see.

The process of selecting whom would run for which position didn't stop. After the caucus, the citizens then moved into the city party convention. The election board (those in charge of running the elections) also found out what their job would entail.

After an engaging speech last night, Charles Wiley spoke again about his role in WWII. Wiley's presence at Badger Boys State is never less than amazing and the attendance record of the citizens at his speeches is proof. While they could've played sports, a room full of a few hundred citizens sat and listened to Wiley's personal account of the war.

Those who did decide to play sports, however, wasted no time getting right into the game and burning energy. The citizens had a wide array of athletic options including football, softball, tennis basketball and others. Here, a group of citizens look on as one of their peers attempts to make a basket.

The color guard, band and choir all had their first full rehearsal today. Badger Boys State encourages the citizens to participate in one of the three, although it is not required. Those who do decide to participate, however, are also able to participate in sports and the other activities that take place around the same time. Counselor Alex, seen here, is directing the citizens in a song that will be sung at an evening assembly.

After supper, the citizens moved on to the county party caucus, where they had the same kind of meeting they had at the city level, but now at the county level. They were able to nominate people for county-level positions. Here, a citizen gives his speech trying to persuade his peers for their votes.

At tonight's assembly, Robert Batty, state commander for the Wisconsin American Legion, gave a presentation entitled What is the American Legion? It gave the citizens a more in-depth look at how the Legion operates and how it spends its time helping others. Here, James Santelle, JD, is seen speaking about the challenges of being a leader in public service in transitional times.
