Welcome to the Potawatomi Area Council!

We help youth from ages 5-20 achieve self-confidence, integrity and ethical awareness while improving their personal fitness and skills.

Scouts BSA
Youth Ages 11-17
Adolescents and teens ages 11-17 can advance their Scouting skills as members of Scouts BSA. This is the traditional Scouting experience, which is youth-led and inspires leadership, self-discovery, service and community engagement. Young women and men are welcome to join Scouts BSA.
Eagle Scout/Projects
Earn the highest advancement in the Scouts BSA program as an Eagle Scout. Only a small percentage of Scouts achieve the rank of Eagle Scout, an accomplishment in itself. Completing the Eagle Service Project helps young men and women contribute to their community and gain lasting leadership skills.
Kayden Wilson
Eagle Scout Name: Kayden Wilson
Unit: Troop 4
Number of service hours: 174 hrs
Name of Project: Cemetery Cleaning Project
Description of Project:
Kayden’s project consisted of leading a group of people to clean headstones at his local cemetery in New Berlin, WI (the town he lives in). This is an old cemetery and the Landmarks Commission and Historical Society wanted this done as many of the headstones are not legible. Completing this project will have an impact because there are lots of families that still live in the area and now, they can see what the stones say. Also, the stones look nice for anyone visiting or those interested in the history of New Berlin.
