    The word ``sole'' is omitted as included in ``exclusive''. The words 
``to have and'' and ``in carrying out its purposes'' are omitted as 
unnecessary. The words ``the corporation adopts'' are substituted for 
``now or heretofore used by the Boy Scouts'' for consistency in the 
revised title. The words ``in carrying out its program'' are omitted as 
unnecessary. The words ``This section does not affect any vested 
rights'' are substituted for ``it being distinctly and definitely 
understood, however, that nothing in this chapter shall interfere or 
conflict with established or vested rights'' for consistency in the 
revised title and to eliminate unnecessary words.
