Big thank you to the @UKinKorea for allowing us to have a special tour behind the scenes of the embassy 🇰🇷
Scouts had the opportunity to find out what it’s like to work for an embassy and understand the work the embassy does in Seoul.

We've always known that being a Scout gives young people #SkillsForLife but now we have evidence that these skills are the very ones employers need!
