This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEP curriculum. Completing this BB is part of getting the straw badge in Metal Working.

For this BB, you will be making a squirrel/raccoon guard!

Here is one way of doing this: (do it similar to this video, but weld it together, instead)

To document your completion of the BB, provide the photos or video (<2 min) of the following:
- The supplies you're starting with
- Partway through the build
- The finished Squirrel/Raccoon Guard
