Paju City announced on the 10th that the British Scout delegation, who had participated in the World Scout Jamboree in Sae Man Geum, visited the Yulgok Arboretum in the city on the 8th and 9th.
Originally scheduled to visit for a total of three days until the 10th, the visit was canceled due to a typhoon, so around 800 people visited the arboretum for two days.
The British delegation had the opportunity to explore various themed gardens and observe summer plants planted in the arboretum, experiencing the nature of Paju firsthand.
The British members observed the planted flowers and insects, asking questions and engaging in discussions.
One British member expressed their impression, saying, "Amidst various schedules and bus rides, it was nice to spend relaxing time lying on the grass square with friends."
Park Jun-tae, head of the Green Environment Project, said, "I hope the children from the UK will cherish fond memories of enjoying forest leisure in Paju City through this visit, leaving warm memories of Korea behind," adding, "I hope the remaining schedule will also be a pleasant time."
