Due to the influence of Typhoon Kanun, which is heading north toward the Korean Peninsula, 37,000 participants of the ‘2023 Saemangeum World Scout Jamboree’ began to withdraw from the Saemangeum camp at 10:00 am on the 8th. Until the government announced the emergency evacuation plan the day before, it seemed that all Jamboree participants would move to the metropolitan area, but some participants decided to stay in the Jeonbuk area. Summarizing the Hankyoreh coverage on the 8th, the Jamboree participants move to facilities that can provide lodging and lodging in Cheongju, North Chungcheong Province, Cheonan, Daejeon, and Sejong, South Chungcheong Province, in addition to areas in the metropolitan area such as Seoul, Gyeonggi, and Incheon. However, participants from Arab countries decided to live in a facility in Jeonbuk. The Saemangeum World Scout Jamboree Organizing Committee (Organizing Committee) said, “Until now, the company in charge of providing food in the Jamboree camp has been providing ‘halal’ food for the delegation from Arab countries. Judging by the decision, the national delegation, whose participants eat halal food, decided to stay in the Jeonbuk region.” Halal food is food that is permitted to be eaten by Muslims according to Islamic law. Previously, the World Scout Federation announced on its official website the previous afternoon that it had decided to leave Saemangeum in preparation for Typhoon Kanun. The government also announced a plan to move the Jamboree participants to the metropolitan area on the morning of the 8th, but there was confusion, such as accommodations not being decided until the night of the 7th. A national meeting of mayors and provincial governors was held this evening presided over by Prime Minister Han Deok-soo, but the conclusion of the meeting, which was announced at 9:00 pm, was to collect school dormitories, training centers, and military facilities equipped with shower facilities, toilets, and cafeterias, etc. It was only what was presented in . The final decision on which country delegation will go to which region and which facility was to be made by the World Federation and the Organizing Committee, but until the morning of this day, an hour before the withdrawal from the camp, no specific movement plan was decided except for the fact that participants from Arab countries decided to remain in Jeonbuk. . Confusion also occurred at the press briefing. The Organizing Committee said that it would not hold a briefing on the day of the departure, citing that it was focusing on the departure of the Jamboree participants, but again announced that it would hold a briefing at 11:00 a.m. due to protests from reporters. In the first place, Minister of Public Administration and Security Lee Sang-min and Minister of Gender Equality and Family Kim Hyun-sook were scheduled to participate in the briefing, but eight minutes before the briefing, Minister Kim was changed to be excluded. On this day, the briefing will be broadcast live on the official World Jamboree YouTube as information related to Jamboree participant lodging and transportation will be announced.
