25th World Scout Jamboree

The 25th World Scout Jamboree was the 25th edition of the World Scout Jamboree, the biggest in-person event of the scout movement, that happens every four years in a different country, held from 1–12 August 2023 at Saemangeum, North Jeolla, South Korea. It was hosted by Korea Scout Association with the theme, "Draw Your Dream". About 43,000 participants from 158 countries attended. The location, Saemangeum, is a reclaimed tidal flat on the coast of the Yellow Sea in South Korea. The campsite is flat, overlooks the sea on one side and features a view of the mountains. The site is about 8.8 square kilometres (3.4 sq mi), 6.2 km × 1.7 km (3.9 mi × 1.1 mi) (based on the longest points).

The purpose of the event is for the participants to participate in cultural exchange activities with other scouts from different parts of the world, such as cooking, setting up camp, leisure activities, culture, spirituality, and others, guided by the educational program.

Planning and execution failures, in conjunction with recent flooding and a heat wave, led to health issues among attendees. The South Korean government, in cooperation with World Organization of the Scout Movement, decided to evacuate the attendees on 8 August due to Typhoon Khanun. After the evacuation, a program of visits to cultural and historic sites and pop music concerts was improvised for the displaced participants in various regions of the country. The closing ceremony was relocated to a football stadium in Seoul.
