Be prepared!
We share your concerns and are working closely with the Host and Government of Korea to ensure a safe, healthy and fun jamboree environment for all.
UPDATE ON THE 25TH WORLD SCOUT JAMBOREE
The 25th World Scout Jamboree is underway with more than 43,000 Scouts and volunteers from around the world experiencing the event. Over the past few days an extreme heatwave and humidity has caused some challenging conditions for young people and volunteers taking part in the event.
To ensure the health, safety and well-being of all participants, the Host is working together with World Scouting and the Korean Government to respond to the heatwave by increasing shaded areas and water around programme activities, making more air-conditioned spaces and transportation available, deploying more doctors and nurses, and increasing the availability of medical facilities and ambulances.
Additional support and resources are also being deployed to assist with food distribution and cleaning services to ensure the campsite is safe, accessible and sanitary for all participants.
Thank you to the thousands of volunteers who have stepped up in countless ways to offer support and assistance, flexibility and patience, to make this Jamboree possible. The Scouting community is grateful for you!
