The teenagers returned from the 2015 World Scout Jamboree at the weekend.

One of them - Brodie McMaster - was treated at Raigmore Hospital in Inverness, and has returned home. Health Protection Scotland said all close contacts had been identified and were being prescribed antibiotics.

Scouts Scotland said it was keeping everyone fully informed and supported.
