Strawberry for canoeing is not a good idea at all. To many variables, and all bad unless you're planning to go in circles in a small sheltered bay close to help.
If you're looking for a mountainous trip in nice surroundings, current creek would certainly be a decent choice, but I don't believe you'll find many areas to set up a camp outside the campgrounds at the boat ramp that are close proximity the the lake.
Electric lake, Gooseberry, Cleveland, Miller Flats, as well as a couple other Manti Mountian lakes might be be good choices, but I'm not sure which one would have the best camp sites. Some may still be snow packed as well. Others here I'm sure are more familiar with that area and the current conditions.
All of Utah's northern lakes are still VERY cold, and choosing to hike into a lake might be a better choice with the cool weather we've been having. At least you have a better chance of arriving to camp with dry gear and dry clothes.
Southern Utah's Boulder Mtns may be warmer (at least the air temps) than the lakes up north and worth considering. Blind Lake would be a real nice choice down there for a group of scouts.
Good Luck.
