The toilets became 'unusable'
The father of a Lancashire scout who was evacuated from an international jamboree in South Korea has said his daughter complained about “disgusting” conditions at the World Scout Jamboree campsite.
Temperatures have risen to 35C at the campsite near the south-western town of Buan, where more than 40,000 scouts from around the world have gathered for the 12-day event. Last week South Korea raised its hot weather warning to the highest “serious” level for the first time in four years. The father, who asked to remain anonymous, said his 17-year-old daughter was among 4,500 British scouts aged 14 to 17, some of whom have needed treatment for heat-related illnesses. The scouts were moved to hotels in Seoul to help “alleviate the pressure” on the campsite.The 48-year-old father said: “The toilets deteriorated over the time she was there to the point they were unusable and pretty disgusting.
At least 108 people have been treated for heat-related illnesses, most of whom have recovered, it was reported on Thursday . Activities requiring hard physical effort have been cancelled and organisers have brought more emergency vehicles, medical staff and air conditioning to the site.
