The Sri Lankan embassy in South Korea said the contingent was relocated to the Dangkook University in Cheonan, on the outskirts of Seoul.

The Sri Lankan scouts have safely reached their new accommodation and are in good health. They will continue with certain activities and programs in their new location.

The Embassy is closely liaising with the management of the Sri Lanka scout contingent, as well as the relevant South Korean authorities, to ensure the continued safety and welfare of all Sri Lankan scouts participating in the Jamboree, it added.
