World Scout Jamboree in Korea:
Although the budget is three times that of Japan, there are many problems.
The project cost breakdown was analyzed.
South Korea/TV Chosun:
Boy Scout World Tournament held in Saemangeum, Jeollabuk-do.
The 25th World Congress is in chaos.
TV Chosun pointed out the problem on the 8th.
South Korea invested three times as much as the budget it had spent in Japan in the past.

On the 7th, the breakdown of the project costs was released.
The total project cost is about 117.1 billion won (12.7 billion yen)
8.4 billion won in personnel and operating expenses,
65.6 billion won in project cost,

Korea Organizing Committee:
On the 7th, the breakdown of the project costs was released.
The total project cost is about 117.1 billion won (12.7 billion yen)
8.4 billion won in personnel and operating expenses,
65.6 billion won in project cost,
The facility cost is 13 billion won.
Detailed breakdown of expenses
in Japan’s case:
Allocate 20% of the total project cost to the operation and management of the campsite (jamboree facilities including toilets, showers, etc.).
For Korea:
Only 10% of the total project cost will be allocated to the construction of campsites and the installation of toilets and showers.
Use of funds unknown:
The problem this time is that it is not clear whether the funds were used correctly.
Korea Organizing Committee:
Where did you spend most of your budget?
Of the 117.1 billion won, the organizing committee spent 87 billion won.
Contents of the “organization committee operating expenses”:
The largest amount is the cost of providing meals to participants and management staff. 12.1 billion won,
However, there is a fact that moldy boiled eggs were served at this tournament.
Organizing Committee visits overseas:
The scale of the 23rd Nihon Univ. is 2.5 times larger than the 23rd Nihon Univ.
The labor cost was 5.5 billion won, and the operating cost was 2.9 billion won, for a total of 8.4 billion won.
However, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family was conducting an overseas inspection under the pretense of preparing for the jamboree.
Excessive publicity and performance costs:
This year’s tournament is conspicuous in terms of publicity and performance costs.
2.1 billion won was spent on operating the exhibition and PR hall alone.
The performance event cost was 4.5 billion won.
In Japan, on the other hand, public relations and marketing expenses are only 100 million yen.
Abnormal situation occurred at the campsite:
131 people were diagnosed as corona positive.
Hundreds of people a day were complaining of insect bites.
There were many puddles and mosquitoes.
This time, 2.8 billion won will be used for corona epidemic prevention and medical facilities, and 760 million won will be used for epidemic prevention and insect control.
Epidemic prevention had not been carried out well before the start. Why not deal with budget?
Korean netizens
Whoever puts the money in his pocket is going to jail!
I’m not on a tight budget. There are many thieves!
Can I spend 5.5 billion won on overseas inspections?
Despite criticizing Japan, what South Korea does is not as good as Japan.
Anger is pouring in in South Korea.
