The Potawatomi Area Council was chartered in 1931 and has served the youth and communities around the greater Waukesha County area for many decades. The contribution we provide to promoting youth growth and commitment to the Scout Oath and Law is only possible with the help of volunteers from our communities. We depend on volunteers to lead Troops and various Scouting programs, as well as help run our facilities, events, and activities. An estimated 2,500 volunteers are part of the Potawatomi Area Council family every year, but we always appreciate and need new volunteers. If you want to help shape the lives of youth and gain valuable experience, come join our volunteer group at the Potawatomi Area Council.

Our Scout leader volunteers invest their time to help shape the lives of youth in the greater Waukesha County area. Becoming a unit or assistant unit leader can be a life-changing experience for our volunteers. You get a chance to learn new skills and build connections to young members in our community. We also have spots on our board for coordinators and members to help directly with our Scouting programs.

The Scout service commitment is an integral part of all the PAC Scouting programs. We need adult volunteers to help plan, coordinate and execute our many community events and activities. Give as little or as much of your time as you can to benefit our kids and teens in our community. We need event and service coordinators, camping participants, day/summer camp participants, merit badge counselors and many other types of Scout event volunteers.

We need skills from all areas for our Scouting programs and facilities. We have our facility in Waukesha and Camp Long Lake that need the skills and support of our volunteer family. Some of the volunteer opportunities available include:

• Administrative volunteers – secretary, treasurer, youth protection coordinator, communications and advancement committee members
• Fundraising coordinators
• Transportation
• Religious award committee member
• Trainer

There are many different roles available for volunteers. Not only can you provide your skills for the benefit of the community, but you have an opportunity to gain new skills and experience. The Potawatomi Area Council offers adult training opportunities for our adult volunteers, including online courses and training videos.
