Gyeonggi Fire Department Hosts Jamboree Scout Members' Memory Exhibition... Time Capsule of Memorial Items Preserved

On the 31st of last month, about 70 students from Suwon Hyocheon Elementary School, who visited the experience center for safety education, are looking at the exhibition items.

The Gyeonggi-do Fire and Disaster Headquarters is holding an exhibition to look back on memories with the scouts who participated in the World Scout Jamboree.

The Fire and Disaster Headquarters announced that from the 1st to the 8th of this month, at the Osan Gyeonggi-do National Safety Experience Center, they will open to the public thank-you letters, souvenirs, and other items left by the world scouts who entered the Gyeonggi-do Fire Academy from the 8th to the 16th of last month to experience Korean firefighting and culture.

Among the participating countries in this Scout event, 365 scouts from six countries including the Netherlands and Cameroon, who uniquely enlisted in the fire service, experienced various safety activities such as firefighting training, first aid, and mountain rescue, and built memories by watching traditional pungmul performances, Taekwondo demonstrations, and b-boy performances.

In particular, as a token of gratitude, they presented souvenirs such as the scout scarves and T-shirts they wore during their stay at the Fire Academy to the firefighters. Before leaving, the scouts also left thank-you letters and small traditional souvenirs from the Netherlands in various places within the Fire Academy dormitories.

The Fire and Disaster Headquarters collected these souvenirs and thank-you letters to prepare the exhibition.

Prior to the exhibition, on the 31st of last month, about 70 students from Suwon Hyocheon Elementary School, who visited the experience center for safety education, showed great interest while viewing the exhibition items.

The Fire and Disaster Headquarters plans to place the souvenirs in a time capsule for permanent preservation after the exhibition ends.
