Scouts return to Shropshire all smiles after trials and tribulations of Korean jamboree
A contingent of scouts that were in South Korea for the world jamboree have returned to Shropshire all smiles despite the extreme weather that forced them to abandon their camp.
A group of around 27 scouts from Shropshire were among 4,500 from the UK and 43,000 scouts from 158 countries who travelled to Gunsan-si in South Korea for the Jamboree this month.
Soaring temperatures caused the UK Scouts to move their units out of the campsite early after authorities issued the country's highest-level heat warning in four years.
The Shropshire group was moved to the South Korean capital, Seoul
The extreme weather did not dampen the spirits of the group, though, who returned home on Thursday night following their Korean odyssey and having had a "fabulous time".
