CHAIRMAN’S GUIDE
The Junior Shooting Sports Program (JSSP) now has a new Chairman’s Guide available in the “Downloads” section of the JSSP Resource page located at https://www.legion.org/shooting/resources.  This guide has been developed to assist junior shooting sports chairmen at all levels in organizing and understanding responsibilities for the Junior Shooting Sports Program, administered at either the post or department level, as well as outside entities that may wish to participate in The American Legion’s National Tournament. This guide replaces the previous JSSP admin manual.
