A Shropshire Scout who has returned home after visiting the ill-fated jamboree in South Korea says it was still a "fantastic experience" despite the many challenges.Leo Davies, 15, from Worfield near Bridgnorth, was one of 27 Shropshire Scouts chosen to represent the county at the 25th World Scout Jamboree in South Korea.
Leo, who flew out to South Korea on July 29 with the rest of Unit 87 from Shropshire Scouts and returned home last Friday, said despite the many tribulations, it had been a"fantastic experience". "During the opening ceremony I was standing next to the Dutch unit and a girl there collapsed and had a seizure, presumably from the heat."He said after several days, all the UK scouts were moved to Seoul, the nation's capital, where organisers put on a host of activities for the Shropshire unit.
