Musk said, “The Boy Scouts I supported helped young men learn survival skills and teamwork,” in a tweet that garnered extensive media attention.
I can no longer support the agenda that this updated version promotes. I will no longer be making donations, and I urge everyone who appreciates conventional scouting to follow suit.
Musk’s demand for a boycott sparked a quick and polarizing response. For days, hashtags supporting and opposing the boycott were popular on social media.
Musk’s supporters contend that Scouting America has deviated from its founding principles and goals by getting overly involved in social and political matters.
They contend that rather than emphasizing social justice, the emphasis should continue to be on character development and outdoor activities.
On the other hand, detractors of Musk’s stance contend that the company is merely changing to better represent and cater to a wider range of people.
