British scouts have moved into hotels in South Korean capital Seoul after a"punishingly hot" heatwave at the World Jamboree sparked health concerns for the thousands of children.
Other countries have been told to evacuate to the giant campsite in South Korea by officials, with warnings a typhoon is on course to hit the area later in the week. It will add to the weather misery for the 40,000 participants, after temperatures in some parts of the country topped 38C last week, with at least 600 people at the event having been treated for heat-related ailments, according to officials."The UK Embassy and the Mayor of Seoul are also supporting the UK team with developing programme activities, so our young people still get the most from the rest of their Jamboree experience in South Korea," the statement said.
