Hong Kong scouts at world jamboree in South Korea disappointed event cut short by typhoon, as spirits high despite heat and poor conditions

Some of the Hong Kong scouts attending a world jamboree in South Korea have expressed disappointment that the event was cut short by a looming typhoon, as their spirits remained high despite the extremely hot weather and poor hygiene conditions.

The teenagers, who were among the 460 delegates from the city at the World Scout Jamboree, said toilets at the site were clogged, floors muddy and temperatures inside tents comparable with those of a sauna.
