Welcome to the Potawatomi Area Council!
Scouting has shaped the lives of thousands of boys and girls in Wisconsin. Our goal at the Potawatomi Area Council is to inspire our youth in the Waukesha, Wisconsin area to reach greater heights. 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

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.

Name of Project: Match Donors & Recipients of South Asian Community
Description of Project: Bone marrow or stem-cell transplants are life-saving procedures that are used for treatment of several types of blood cancers and low blood counts. “Be the Match” in partnership with Versiti Blood Center of Wisconsin, is the national stem cell donor registry and exists for patients in need of a lifesaving stem cell or bone marrow transplant since only 20% of patients who need stem cell or bone marrow transplant will have a match in their family. The likelihood of finding a match is highest in one’s own ethnicity. Currently the number of donors for South Asian community patients seeking a match is at -40% or less. My goal is to increase the number of South Asian registrants in the “Be the Match” registry. I can accomplish this by setting up a “Be the Match” registration camps at my local Hindu temple, Mosque and Gurudwara (Sikh Temple). By doing so I want to educate and enable South Asians to join the registry as donors and in doing so they will be able to save someone’s life one day.
