Earlier, from the 8th to the 12th, Yongin City collaborated with companies, universities, and others to provide accommodations and alternative programs for the Jamboree participants who withdrew early from Saemangeum due to the typhoon. The participants were divided into teams and visited Yongin Rural Theme Park, Gyeonggi Arts Center, Beopryunsa Temple, and other places for experiential activities.

Lee Sang-il, Mayor of Yongin City, said, "I am glad to hear that the Philippine scouts have safely returned to their homeland," and added, "If the Philippine scouts cherish their experiences in Yongin as precious memories, there is no greater reward."

He continued, "I would like to once again express my gratitude to the city officials, companies, universities, religious facilities, and public institutions who devotedly supported the Jamboree participants, including the Philippine scouts, during the emergency situation."
