The 25th World Scout Jamboree was held from 1–12 August 2023 at Saemangeum, North Jeolla, South Korea, hosted by Korea Scout Association with the theme, "Draw Your Dream".[1] About 43,000 participants from 158 countries attended.[2][3] 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 Template:Convert/sqkm, 6.2 x 1.7 km (Expression error: Unexpected < operator.Expression error: Unrecognized word "x".mi)Template:Convert/test/Aon (based on the longest points).[1]

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.[4] 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.[5] The closing ceremony was relocated to a football stadium in Seoul.
