Justin Higgins from Troop 482 of Connoquenessing Township used his skills to give back to one of the schools that educated him.

Justin, a 2015 graduate of Butler Catholic School and junior at Cardinal Wuerl North Catholic High School, built a garden for the students of Butler Catholic with the help of 30 volunteers.

The project helps fulfill part of Justin's Eagle Scout requirements.

The garden consists of four 4-by-8-foot beds with cold frames with special plastic lids to insulate the plants.

Justin also built a bulletin board for teachers and students to track the growth of their planting throughout the school year.
