World Scout Jamboree: South Korea sends 1,000 buses to take attendees away from Typhoon Khanun

Tens of thousands of scouts relocated to venues in and around the capital, Seoul, as storm nears

Tens of thousands of scouts have begun arriving at university dormitories, government and corporate training centres, and hotels around Seoul and other inland cities on Tuesday afternoon as the South Korean government evacuated the World Scout Jamboree before a tropical storm.

More than 1,000 buses are being deployed to move 37,000 scouts - mostly teenagers visiting from 156 countries - from the site in the south-western county of Buan.
