Don't conflate Scouts Canada with Boy Scouts of America. They have similarities and connections but they are far from the same organization. The distance between them is substantially greater than there is between national subsidiaries of major corporations. They are very distinct entities and always have been.
Scouts Canada is way more inclusive than Boy Scouts of America - hell, my Scout troop was Co-ed back in the early 90's - and while Scouts Canada does require 'spiritual' belief, it does not require its members to subscribe to a religion or hold a belief in God. Scouts Canada also has a policy not to discriminate for reasons of gender, culture, religious belief, or sexual orientation.
I highly, highly recommend investigating your local Scout/Cub etc. troop as something that might be beneficial to your kids.
