I was the worlds worst scout. The only knot I can tie is in my shoelaces. When we were trying to get our nature badge we had to be able to identify different species of trees and I would just say "Birch?" when it was my turn to answer the scoutmaster. But I had a lot of fun and there was never any mention of God outside the pledge.. and then you had to pledge allegiance to the Queen as well so you knew you didn't really mean any of it. I think depriving your kid of the scouting experience for the sake of the minor religious aspect is unfair to the kid.

HOWEVER, I think pressure needs to be put on them to change their rules just as we would any organization that banned women, or banned blacks, or banned Jewish people. Discrimination, though their choice, should be fought with determination.
