The World Scout Jamboree held in South Korea last year was a disaster, with tens of thousands of scouts being evacuated due to issues with food and medical facilities. Despite being blamed by investigators, the South Korean government denied responsibility and claimed that they only played a supportive role to the Korean Scout Association. However, independent findings were critical of both the government and the scout group, stating that the government took the lead role in organizing the event while sidelining the scout group.
The UK contingent withdrew over 4,500 child scouts due to the problems, prompting many other countries to follow suit. The report outlined significant challenges and deficiencies in safety, security, medical support, food, sanitation, and hygiene. It also criticized the government for becoming the de facto organizer, causing structural and coordination complications. Children fainted in extreme heat as there were inadequate food supplies at the camp. The independent panel’s report highlighted issues with medical facilities such as clinics lacking electricity and a shortage of basic supplies like saline solution.
