Scouts evacuate South Korea camp ahead of approaching storm

Thousands of scouts from around the world attending the World Scout Jamboree in South Korea are being evacuated from the campsite due to an incoming tropical storm. The UK, US, and Singapore have already pulled their teams, citing high temperatures and poor sanitary conditions. The South Korean government has deemed the site unsafe and will relocate the remaining participants to safer areas. The event will continue in alternative venues in Seoul. The relocation will cost the UK Scout Association over £1m, impacting their future plans. Severe Tropical Storm Khanun is forecasted to reach the region on Thursday.
