Dozens of Scouts from across Reading, Bracknell, and Slough have been forced to withdraw from this year's international Jamboree in South Korea.

This comes as thousands of scouts from across the world either relocated to nearby hotels or left due to high temperatures and poor sanitary conditions in the camp.

UK Scouts chief executive Matt Hyde said he felt let down by organisers and UK activities had been set back years.

Writing on a blog post dedicated to sharing their journey in South Korea, a spokesman from Berkshire Scouts has confirmed that the group which includes four volunteers have moved to a hotel in the business district of the city.

The spokesman has said that he is gutted that the trip has been cut short from what they had planned after moving from the campsite it is a ‘very different place to yesterday.’

The Berkshire Scouts have enjoyed different amenities in the hotel including the pool and spa facilities and welcomed some British food choices at the adjacent shopping mall.

The chief executive of the Scout’s in the UK has said that he feels ‘let down’ by the jamboree South Korean organisers after spending £1 million evacuating Scout’s and volunteers to these hotels in Seoul.

He said: “We had commitments to those reserves that will of course mean that we can’t now do things that we wanted to do over the next three to five years.

“We feel let down by the organisers because we repeatedly raised some of these concerns before we went, and during, and we were promised things were going to be put in place and they weren’t.”

In a statement issued on Monday morning, Mr Hyde said the UK contingent will travel home from August 13 as originally planned.
