Your statement is a non-sequitor.

It’s now been established on the thread that the boy scouts built this building with their funds, and the City gets plenty of benefits from the Boy Scouts.

Yes, the Boy Scouts do deserve public help. Such as allowing the boy scout troops to use schools for meetings, etc. The benefits to the community in reducing juvenile delinquency and building up solid citizens more than pays for the minor costs involved, which is less than the maintenance of a park or two.

I have never discounted the merit of the Boy Scouts to a community.

However, should all organizations that some people feel are a benefit to the community receive rent of $1.00 per year?
