The U.S. Scouting Service Project (USSSP) was the idea of board member Chris Marsey who helped bring together one of the largest repositories of Scouting Clip-Art to the world Scouting community in 1996. Soon thereafter, Dave Tracewell and Gary Hendra added their vast clip-art collections to the collection and the USSSP continued to grow, adding Scouters from around the country with specialized talents who contributed many hours of time and resources to the project. Michael Bowman has contributed his expertise in web development. All of the USSSP Board members are volunteer Scouters who support Scouting on the Internet.
