DELAWARE WATER GAP, MONROE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — Girl Scouts are known for helping the community and selling cookies, but embracing bats? That is exactly what is behind a local Girl Scout's mission in the Poconos.

Kendra Collins is not supervising a major construction project, but she hopes what she is teaching girls to build brings major benefits.

"It really goes back to loving the unloved, you know, because people don't like bats. They're scary, you know," said Kendra.
