Tens of thousands of scouts, including hundreds of Canadians, will begin evacuating Tuesday from an international scouting jamboree along the country’s western coast before the expected arrival of a typhoon.
More than 1,000 vehicles will be used starting Tuesday morning to move 36,000 scouts—mostly teenagers—from the World Scout Jamboree in the southwestern county of Buan, said Kim Sung-ho, a vice minister at South Korea’s Ministry of the Interior and Safety.
