Summary without clicking (I’m on the voyager app)

SEOUL, South Korea — South Korea is plowing ahead with the World Scout Jamboree, rejecting a call by the world scouting body to cut the event short as a punishing heat wave caused thousands of British scouts to begin leaving the coastal campsite Saturday. American scouts are expected to leave over the weekend.

Hundreds of participants have been treated for heat-related ailments since the jamboree began Wednesday at the coastal site in Buan as South Korea grapples with one of its hottest summers in years.

Prime Minister Han Duck-soo said during a news conference that South Korea is determined to continue the event as planned through Aug. 12. He promised additional safety measures including more medical staff, air-conditioned vehicles and structures that provide shade.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Hundreds of participants have been treated for heat-related ailments since the jamboree began Wednesday at the
coastal site in Buan as South Korea grapples with one of its hottest summers in years.

Long before the event’s start, critics raised concerns about bringing that many young people to a vast, treeless
area lacking protection from the summer heat.

Han insisted organizers made “significant improvements” to address the extreme heat and said the decision to
continue was supported by representatives of national scout contingents who met Saturday.

Han stressed how the country was pouring national resources into the event, including dozens of government
vehicles providing cooling systems, shade structures procured from military bases and teams of nurses and doctors from major hospitals.

“We continue to call on the host and the Korean government to honor their commitments to mobilize additional
financial and human resources, and to make the health and safety of the participants their top priority,” the
statement said.
