Jamboree-fate Saemangeum jamboree fate hangs in balance as U.K., U.S. contingents set to leave campsite SEOUL, Aug. 5 (Yonhap) -- The fate of the World Scout Jamboree in South Korea was thrust into uncertainty Saturday as the world scout organization called for options to end the event earlier than planned, with British and U.S. contingents opting to pull out from the campsite amid deepening safety concerns from an unabated heat wave. Despite the Seoul government's vow of "all-out" support, criticism has persisted over the perceived lack of preparation for the event in the Saemangeum reclamation area on the country's southwest coast as a large number of people showed signs of heat-related illnesses and complained of other onsite difficulties.
