The World Scout Jamboree, held in Saemangeum on the country’s west coast, saw nearly 40,000 teenagers turn up, according to organizers. The event was supposed to feature outdoor activities, cultural performances, sustainability workshops and other offerings for the participants, mostly middle and high schoolers. But extreme weather has put a dampener on festivities and scouts are now leaving the main venue almost a week ahead of schedule. The typhoon is forecast to hit South Korea on Thursday, with up to 6 inches (150 millimeters) of rainfall expected, according to CNN meteorologists. Participants play with a ball at the campsite for the 25th World Scout Jamboree in South Korea, on August 4, 2023.
