The USMC Scout Sniper Association (SSA) is the only non-profit membership organization for Marine Scout Snipers in the world. We exist to support the Scout Sniper community through programs that inspire brotherhood, encourage professionalism, and foster resiliency. Our community is comprised of those who have carried the long gun, those who have enabled our successes on the battlefield, and our families. We recognize the outstanding achievements of our brother Marines, past and present. We honor the sacrifices of those who have bled and fallen in the service of our Nation. We support the active sniper community through advocacy and material support, and we strengthen the Scout Sniper Community through camaraderie and by being our brother’s keeper. The United States Marine Corps Scout Sniper Association is non-partisan, nonprofit, tax-exempt, veterans’ service organization under Section 501(c)(19) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Association was started in 1998, and received its IRS ruling as a 501(c)(19) Veterans’ Organization in 2004.
