Tens of thousands of scouts, including hundreds of Canadians, will begin evacuating Tuesday from an international scouting jamboree along the country's western coast before the expected arrival of a typhoon.
More than 1,000 vehicles will be used starting Tuesday morning to move 36,000 scouts — mostly teenagers — from the World Scout Jamboree in the southwestern county of Buan, said Kim Sung-ho, a vice minister at South Korea's Ministry of the Interior and Safety.
It could bring winds of between 118 and 154 km/h. Large swaths of the country's south, including Buan, could be affected by the storm as early as Wednesday, the agency said. British Scouts were moved to hotels, while the U.S. scouts were relocated to an American military base near the capital.
