The Box Elder American Legion 315 was chartered by
the national organization in 1990. Since its beginning the
members and counterpart, the Auxiliary have endeavored to
support not only area veterans, but the community, state, and
nation. Post 315 also enjoys a unique relationship with
Ellsworth AFB. The Post Home (club) is open daily from noon
until 10 pm Monday – Thursday, and until 11 pm Friday and
Saturday (later if business warrants), Sunday hours are noon to
8:00pm. Specialty dinners are served the 1st, 3rd, & 5th
Wednesdays of each month Sep – May for a very nominal fee.
The club is also available for parties and events with catering.
They can be contacted at 923-3168 and all members of the
community are welcome at Post 315.
During a typical year the Legion supports the Douglas
School District and a variety of community activities. The
group sponsors Boys State, ROTC awards, scholarships for
seniors and athletics at the high school, along with middle
school awards for deserving students. The Post supports local
area dart teams and most recently the Ranchers Relief Fund. In
conjunction with the Auxiliary they assist in Christmas baskets
for the needy, an Easter Egg Hunt for area children, Special
Olympics and the Fort Meade Gift Shop. The Auxiliary also
sponsors Girls State.
