At the raft experience site, where various survival skills, communication, and teamwork are developed, three youths from France, the United Kingdom, and Germany fell into the water when their kayak capsized during the experience. Fortunately, rescue workers waiting on site immediately rescued them.

Within the Jamboree experience site, patients with heat-related illnesses, insect bites, diarrhea, and lacerations occurred, prompting the deployment of ambulances and fire trucks to the Baekje Herb, Silla Herb, Goryeo Herb, Joseon Herb, and Goguryeo Herb areas for rapid response.

As the number of emergency dispatches, including ambulance calls, increased, three recovery support vehicles and six containers are being operated. Separate rest areas have been established to improve working conditions so that dispatch personnel do not accumulate fatigue and can respond in good health.

Chief Joo Nak-dong stated, “We will prepare for safety and meticulously support the site so that various and interesting experiences can be had both inside and outside the Jamboree campsite.”
