What format are you saving the scanned image as? jpegs don't scale up very well being a bitmap image, you need a vector image like .svg (There are loads more, some proprietry.)
There is a site called VectorMagic that used to be free that vectors your jpeg images for you.
Adobe Illustrator, XaraX or Corel Draw also will vector graphics IIRC.
Or if you have access to a photocopier you could try enlarging it on that.
