Oh, I wasn't aware there are RHEL subscriptions without access to RHSCL 
packages. But in case you don't have access to RHSCL channel, it is 
possible to install the CentOS repos with SCLs by following steps in: 
https://github.com/sclorg/centos-release-scl#how-to-install-sclo-packages-on-rhel-systems

Please, let me know whether this will work for you.

Thanks,
Honza
