Scouts attending the 20th World Scout Jamboree in Thailand were provided with free condoms on request, Dr. Pipat Yingseri of the Public Health Ministry said. Yingseri said condoms
would be supplied at the event because reports of participants engaging in sex had emerged from past scout gatherings. Most of the scouts are ages 14 to 18. "We are preparing the
condoms to prevent AIDS, not to encourage sexual activity. In case they need them they can ask for them from us," Yingseri said. Yuwarat Jamornvej, the camp chief, said sexual encounters
would prove difficult for the campers, given the large number of people in the area and nightly security patrols by up to 300 volunteers. He and public health officials reported illnesses,
including sunstroke, to be a bigger problem.
