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.
