More than 100 children have been treated for heat-related illnesses
Children attending the World Scout Jamboree in South Korea have been moved to hotels after young people were treated for heat-related illnesses amid one of the country’s hottest summers.
Among those attending are a group of 40 young people, from Hyndburn, Burnley and Pendle, Clitheroe, and Blackburn and Darwen, aged 14-17, who were chosen to perform their own song ‘Plastic Ocean’ in front of 50,000 other Scouts from 172 nations. Dotty Davies, from Cowpe, Rossendale, wrote the song which focuses on environmental concerns, something the Scouts know all about having tackled litter picking.
Thousands of British teenagers aged 14 to 17 travelled to South Korea for the 12-day event, which is hosted by a different nation every four years. At least 108 people have been treated for heat-related illnesses, most of whom have recovered, it was reported on Thursday.
