More than 4,000 UK Scouts to be moved into hotels as heatwave hits World Jamboree in South Korea

"We will start moving our people to hotel accommodation over the next two days," the spokesperson said.

The spokesperson said the Scouts will work with local authorities to put on a programme of activities"so our young people still get the most from their time in Korea". "Despite the heat and the difficulties and the challenges that they are facing, only 8% reported that they were very unsatisfied with the experience so far," Jacob Murray, the director for World Events at the Scouts, told reporters.
