Worth the click-thru, Chief Scout Executive gives good answers when the interviewer tries to make it all about the Scouts vs. homosexuals: the Scouts will no longer allow others to define them.

Know the difference between the Coast Guard and the Boy Scouts? The Boy Scouts have adult leadership. You may feel free to insert your own service branch.

Yeah, I had that line used on me as a noob 2LT in the Army. I was later to find out that actually the boys are supposed to be the leaders of the Scout troop with the adults providing guidance and support. As a former Scoutmaster, I will admit that it is a challenge to get the boys to really lead. “Guidance” comes in many forms...
