TL;DR Summary
South Korea has evacuated tens of thousands of Scouts from the World Scout Jamboree as Tropical Storm Khanun approaches the Korean Peninsula.

The Scouts, who hailed from 156 countries, have been relocated to university dormitories and other accommodations in Seoul and surrounding areas. The Jamboree will continue with cultural events and activities, including a K-Pop concert. The evacuation comes after struggles with heat, hygiene, and land use controversies, leading to the departure of British and American Scouts.
