I hate to be the one to point it out, but, um... check out the man 
page.  :)  Note the -p option, which is defined as:
-p Preserves modification times, access times, and modes from the 
original file.

If you'd prefer an HTML version of the man page:
http://techpubs.sgi.com/library/tpl/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?coll=linux&db=man&fname=/usr/share/catman/man1/scp.1.html&srch=scp

Note: He will of course have to either a) set the permissions correctly 
on his local copies, or b) use scp to pull down local copies with the 
correct permissions, before adding -p will have the desired effect.
