The World Scout Jamboree is being held in South Korea, attracting tens of thousands of Scouts from around the world to 8.8 sq km of reclaimed tidelands in Saemangeum, about 180km south-west of Seoul.
The country is in the grip of a heatwave, which has led to hundreds of attendees needing treatment for heat-related illnesses in the first few days. Choi Chang-haeng, the secretary general of the event’s organising committee, said on Thursday that all heat-related illnesses were mild, with 39 still being treated at medical institutions.
On Friday, South Korean president Yoon Suk Yeol, who attended the jamboree, ordered that air-conditioned buses and water trucks to be sent to the site.
