NSSF’s Annual Boy Scouts Grant Program Kicks Into Gear

NEWTOWN, Conn. – As part of an annual program that encourages youth participation in the shooting sports, the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) is once again partnering with Boy Scouts of America Councils. This year’s program makes available $100,000 in funding, double the amount of previous years.
