Jamaica: Sudbury Eagle Scout Assists in Rescue

Announcements — August 17, 2011 @ 7:19 am

The trip started much like many other high school community service trips.

They planned to teach the young pupils some arts and crafts skills and play some sports including rugby. And that by itself would have been a very memorable trip.
