When wearing their uniforms or neckerchiefs, Scouts are granted free entry to the 2023 Hanbok Expo.

At the experience boots, Scouts can don hanbok (traditional Korean clothing), take commemorative photos, and participate in various hands-on activities, including crafting norigae (traditional Korean accessory) and coloring postcards with traditional patterns.

From August 1 to 7, the Hanbok experience center at the Jamboree site received an enthusiastic response, with over 3,300 Scouts in attendance

Previously, in collaboration with KCDF and the Korea Traditional Culture Center, MCST successfully established a hanbok culture experience center (August 1-7) within the Jamboree campsite, drawing the participation of over 3,300 Scouts. The Scouts had the chance to try on hanbok and partake in traditional games like ddakjichigi, jegichagi, and yutnori.

A participant who tried on hanbok remarked, "Hanbok, the traditional clothing of Korea, is beautiful. If given the opportunity, I would like to purchase one." Another Scout, after experiencing traditional games, said, "Traditional games are fun. I am pleased to have such an experience in Korea."
