Thousands of scouts evacuated from world jamboree in South Korea as storm nears
Government deploys 1,000 buses to move young people but insists programmes will continue elsewhere
Tens of thousands of scouts began arriving at university dormitories, training centres and hotels around Seoul and other inland cities on Tuesday afternoon as the South Korean government evacuated attenders at the World Scout Jamboree before a tropical storm.
More than 1,000 buses are being deployed to move 37,000 scouts – mostly teenagers visiting from 156 countries – from the site in the south-western county of Buan.
