Thank you for your support!
On 23rd March 2024 a team of intrepid Explorer Scouts from Rugby District completed their 24 hour Mapathon in aid of Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors Without Borders (MSF).
The mappers were supported by David and Matilda who provided catering and exercise breaks. Mick, the Rugby District Commissioner came to see how the event was going and to give support to the team.
Well done to all the mappers: Thomas, Lewis, Tom, Darshan, Ruari, Joe, Sean, David, Matilda and Ruth!

Feedback from mappers:
The mapping was tricky to begin with, but I got the hang of it
It was really interesting
I really enjoyed finding the houses – especially the circular huts
A lot of the roads were misplaced and I had to fix them
I was really tired afterwards
I could see the impact we were making, that really motivated me, I would do it again
Thank you to everyone who has supported this challenge.
