Patrick Ingham is a senior at Avon Grove Charter School and the October Senior Student of the Month for the Avon Grove Lions. For 11 years, Patrick has been an active member of Boy Scouts, and is currently an Eagle Scout and former leader of West Grove’s Troop 18. Through scouting, he has had the opportunity to partake in many different acts of service. For his Eagle Scout project, Patrick went back to his elementary school (Avon Grove Charter's Early Learning Center) and used his passion for geography to gather volunteers and paint a large map of the United States in their recess yard. Patrick has also done a lot of conservation related work, including removing invasive species and working to spread awareness about storm drain pollution. In addition, Patrick spent much of his summer of 2019 volunteering at the scout camp John H. Ware III, where he worked with Cub Scouts aged 5-10 teaching them various scout skills. Patrick is also now a full staff member in their nature lodge. After high school, Patrick plans to attend a 4-year college to study Environmental Science and possibly Geography.
