2009 Junior USA Shooting Team

[rfwobbly]

The National shooting Sports Foundation has just posted their 2009 Junior USA Shooting Team information on the NSSF web site.

Coaches of any organized youth shooting group (Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, 4H, school rifle team, etc.) can apply for the free patches for their youth shooters in rifle and/or shotgun. Each youth, after completing the target, will then receive a multi-color patch they can wear on their shooting vest or uniform. Targets consist of a downloaded file the coach prints. Patches are then supplied to your youth shooting group free of charge based on input from the adult shooting coach.

My Boy Scout Troop has been using this system for about 5 years to stimulate interest in youth shooting, and it works. The Scouts love shooting, and show a lot of pride wearing their earned patches. There is a new and different patch each year. The 2009 patches will be available starting March 1.

My bad !! Apologies are in order.

That was May 1, not the date I reported.

Thankfully, the new web page is up and running and they are taking orders. My Scout group shot on Feb 14, so our order went in already. So if you were waiting on BSA Troop 518, then you're backing up, my friend.

Here's the new Junior Shooting link: http://www.nssf.org/JRUSA/
