Thousands of scouts visited South Korea.

They came from different countries.

It was for a festival or 'jamboree'.

The scout jamboree is every four years.

This time, there were lots of problems.

The problems started when scouts arrived.

The weather was very hot.

Lots of teenagers were ill.

There weren't enough nurses.

And there wasn't enough water.

So British and American scouts left.

There were other problems too.

The food was bad and the toilets were dirty.

And there were mosquitoes everywhere.

Each scout had to pay £3,500.

But the trip was disappointing.

One scout leader from Austria – Nicola Raunig – felt sad.

And then there was another problem.

The weather changed – a typhoon arrived.

The scouts had to leave.

They went to stay in Seoul.

The scouts say "Be prepared".

But lots of people thought the festival planning was bad.

The story was popular in South Korean newspapers.

Axel Scholl, from Germany, felt sorry for South Korea.
