      yum -y install tomcat7-jsvc tomcat8-jsvc
      systemctl start tomcat7-jsvc
      pgrep -l -f tomcat
      service should works

      Show
      yum -y install tomcat7-jsvc tomcat8-jsvc systemctl start tomcat7-jsvc pgrep -l -f tomcat service should works

      tomcatX-jsvc service doesn't starts due to wrong path to jsvc scrip defined in /usr/libexec/tomcatX/functions. It checks wrong (/usr/bin/jsvc) destination, instead of correct one (/opt/rh/jbcs-httpd24/root/usr/bin/jsvc).

      # /usr/libexec/tomcat7/functions
 17     if [ -x /usr/bin/jsvc ]; then
 18          TOMCAT_USER="tomcat"
 19          JSVC="/usr/bin/jsvc"

You have to replace all references to the system's JSVC binary. This will fix it:
# sed -i 's@/usr/bin/jsvc@/opt/rh/jbcs-httpd24/root/usr/bin/jsvc@g' /usr/libexec/tomcat7/functions
