On October 30th  Wayne Brock announced:

"I am pleased to announce that the BSA National Executive Board elected former Secretary of Defense and former CIA Director Dr. Robert M. Gates to the National Executive Board of the Boy Scouts of America. Dr. Gates will serve as a member of the board's executive committee and as the national president-elect. This move means that upon approval of voting members of the National Council, Gates would begin a two-year term as the BSA national president in May 2014.

...

Following the National Council's approval of Dr. Gates' two-year term as the BSA national president beginning in May 2014, Randall Stephenson, chairman and chief executive officer of AT&T Inc., has agreed to serve as the president-elect of the BSA."

"One of the things that is most important to me is personal integrity. And a policy and a law that in effect requires people to lie gives me a problem. We spend a lot of time in the military talking about integrity and honor and values. Telling the truth is a pretty important value in that scale. It's a very important value and so for me...A policy that requires people to lie about themselves somehow seems to me fundamentally flawed."
