Scouts Evacuate South Korea Jamboree as Tropical Storm Khanun Approaches

Tens of thousands of scouts, including teenagers from 158 countries, are being evacuated from the World Scout Jamboree in South Korea due to the approaching Tropical Storm Khanun. The majority of the scouts will be accommodated in venues in Seoul and the nearby metropolitan area. The storm is expected to make landfall in South Korea on Thursday morning with winds of up to 95 mph. Extreme heat has already forced thousands of scouts to leave the site, and the evacuation plans come after the World Organization of the Scout Movement called on South Korea to move the scouts from the storm's path.
