"But why should the scouts get free land from the city?"
They are not getting free land. They are getting a nominal rental fee because THE SCOUTS BUILT THE BUILDING, per the full story that is linked in the excerpt shown here. What we don't know are the full terms of the original agreement between the Scouts and the city, and whether the agreemet had an expiration date or any other provisions that would allow the city to unilaterally terminate or amend it.

The rights of the property owner supersede those of the tenant.
And if a tenant wishes to improve a property the improvements become property of the landlord.
