Sixteen Scouts (a combination of Juniors and Brownies from Troops 262 and 61517) visited campus April 18. Each Scout constructed a birdhouse, which helped satisfy requirements for earning the Human and Habitat Echo Explorer patch. "Our students did a great job, as did our little builders," noted Garret Graff, assistant professor of building construction technology and adviser to PCCA. "It was evident that some had never held a hammer before, but, with much guidance from our students, they accomplished the task. Penn College should be very proud and is very fortunate to have such a great group of students who are willing to spend an evening helping little hands."
