"Worst nightmare": South Korea mulls disastrous Scout jamboree
Media outlets in South Korea have labelled its hosting of the World Scout
Jamboree
a “national disgrace”, a “survival game”, and a “worst nightmare”. Public outcry
has intensified
online and strangers are approaching scouts on the streets, apologising on behalf of their country and handing out gifts. South Korea has successfully hosted large events such as the Fifa World Cup and Winter Olympics, but the mismanagement of the global scouting event, which struggled with heat and hygiene
and eventually had to be evacuated
as a typhoon approached, has left many wondering: where did it all go wrong?
