About Scouts BSA
Our Scouts BSA program at Potawatomi Area Council has promoted generations of leaders in the greater Waukesha County area. Young men and women ages 11-17 can embark on new adventures while gaining advanced skills, personal growth and commitment to service. Scouts BSA includes youth-led programs that build service, leadership and community engagement, working up through the ranks to the pinnacle rank of Eagle Scout.
Service
One of the keys of Scout Oath and Law is service. Scouts learn the importance of serving others in their community and service to the environment. “Do a good turn daily” is the Scout slogan, initiating Scouts to help others through service daily without expecting anything in return.
Leadership
Creating future leaders is what has made scouting a time-honored tradition. Scouts learn leadership skills that will improve their confidence, contributing to their success in life. The Scouts BSA program has many former members that went on to be worldwide leaders and highly successful individuals in many fields.
Community Engagement
Community service activities are an essential part of the Scouts BSA program in Waukesha. Our Scouts experience personal growth and strengthen their moral compass by helping others in our community. Learning to give back to others teaches our Scouts valuable lessons that will stay with them for a lifetime.
Upcoming Events
Scouting is fun and includes many adventures for our local youth – the goal is learning by doing. Potawatomi Area Council creates events year-round for our Scouts, volunteers and community. Scouts spend time camping, learning enjoyment of the outdoors and gaining useful skills they will use throughout their lives. Scouts also have the opportunity to join us at our Camp Long Lake Scout Reservation for incredible adventures each summer.
