Teenagers Evacuated from World Scout Jamboree Campsite in South Korea Due to Extreme Weather

The World Scout Jamboree in South Korea has been cut short due to an approaching typhoon, following complaints about extreme heat and poor conditions at the event. Nearly 40,000 teenagers were expected to participate in the gathering, but now scouts are being evacuated a week ahead of schedule. The typhoon is forecasted to hit South Korea on Thursday, prompting the transfer of approximately 36,000 participants to the greater Seoul area. This comes after hundreds of teens fell ill from the heat, and reports of inadequate food and sleeping arrangements. Contingents from the US, UK, and Singapore have already pulled out of the event.
