Counselors
One of the secrets of success for the Palmetto Boys State program is the group of
outstanding counselors who love the program and enjoy working with South Carolina's
future leaders.
Each city is assigned one Senior Counselor and two to three Junior Counselors.
Each counselor is a former citizen who participated and excelled while a citizen
with Palmetto Boys State. Senior Counselors are the leaders of the city and
take on administrative and leadership duties and responsibilities. Junior
Counselors are assigned to one of the two political parties and assist the Senior
Counselors in any duties delegated to them. They also assist the staff with
their respective party functions.
Each county is assigned a County Advisor. The County Advisors are on the staff
level and are not assigned to a political party and will take only a limited part
in political activities during the week. The County Advisors will work with
the cities in guiding the citizens, assist with various county meetings, and assist
the counselors during the week with any potential problems.
