MailOnline can reveal today how volunteers have been left 'incandescent at the lack of leadership' amid the chaos at the World Scout Jamboree which has seen hundreds treated for heat-related illnesses and forced the US and UK to pull children out.
Organisers - who have been heavily criticised for poor preparation - are now facing demands to cancel the event as South Korea battles with a blistering heatwave, where temperatures have soared to 100F.
The 4,500-strong UK contingent, the largest at the jamboree, announced yesterday that they would evacuate children to hotels in Seoul for the rest of their stay, to alleviate pressure on the site which has been blasted over food shortages, a lack of shade and complaints being censored.

Yes, then it will be a DRY HEAT … which is not as bad. /s
“incandescent”???
smh
If it’s getting warmer they should teach them how adept to the heat and win instead of running around with their hands in the air \o/ yelling , CLIMATE CRISIS CLIMATE CRISIS CLIMATE CRISIS LOL
I guess they weren’t prepared.
Sounds fun.
Yah. Must be soyboy scouts.
It is summer. 100F is common across the northern hemisphere. I’ve been in the same house here in CaCaLand for ~35 years and recall several summers with temps >100F for day after day.
This is nothing new. All of those whinging about it: YOU ARE NOT SPECIAL!
The Leaders are busy getting their Ben Dover badge
It sounds like many of them didn’t get acclimated to the heat before going camping, and maybe they are not drinking enough water and not realizing they are getting dehydrated. I live in the US South with very hot and humid summers and I start acclimating myself to the heat and humidity in April/May every year since I like walking and hiking.
Just another grooming event. Boy Scouts have been anything but for several years now.

100 degrees. I have been in such heat. Wasn’t bad. This is just brain washing the boys (and girls) on scouts.
Yeah, that stopped me too, but the online dictionary says it means “full of strong emotion, passion, “ or “extremely angry.” Must be a British saying. ☺️💡💡💡
100 degrees?
Here in Texas we call that “summer”.
If you’re going to hold an event in July...
And evacuated? I’ll bet they were mistreated on that trip. And who paid to evacuate 4500 children to hotels.
Today we, hopefully, will not hit the nineties for the first time in a week.
They may not have been prepared for the heat, but the Scout Masters probably brought plenty of lube.
I lived in South Korea for two years. I can't imagine 100° temps there. It would be miserable with the humidity. I also lived in Tucson for three years. 100° in Tucson never bothered me.
I can see the jamboree patches

But srsly who could have planned for unrelenting 100 degree heat in South Korea?
