Buses have started to move thousands of scouts attending the World Scout Jamboree from their campsite on South Korea’s coast to inland locations ahead of a tropical storm which is forecast to bring intense rains and strong winds to the peninsula within days.
More than 1,000 vehicles began to move the estimated 36,000 scouts – mostly teenagers – and adult volunteers on Tuesday from the scouting jamboree – known as the world’s largest youth camp – that opened last week in Buan, a county on South Korea’s southwestern coast, and is being attended by participants from 156 countries.
