..unless it can be shown that Berkley is holding the scouts to a different standard as any other non-profit agency then there is little the scouts can do to complain...

That's already been shown.

Just by the way, I note that Berkeley council gives away $145,000 in grants annually for the 'arts.' What do you think is of more value, to the community? Scouts, or some crappy modern 'art'?

Arts is a broad term. If that includes funding for a symphony or ballet or opera then that's money well spent. The Boy Scouts seem to do OK raising money on their own.
