The audit's presumed council succession could not be confirmed — what stands verified is the present holder, whole. La Salle Council (No. 165), headquartered in South Bend, is the Boy Scouts of America's council for eight counties of northern Indiana and southwestern Michigan today: its camps include the Wood Lake Scout Reservation (Camp Tamarack) and Camp ToPeNeBee; its Order of the Arrow lodge is Sakima Lodge; its recent record includes a $1.35 million Lilly Endowment grant and 21% new-member growth in 2023, second among the BSA's 245 councils (Michiana Business News, December 2024). The succession the audit presumed — a St. Joseph Valley council into La Salle, a Singing Sands council into a Northern Indiana–Michiana body — was not confirmed in any carrier reached, and prints here as an unverified presumption, not as history: council mergers are charter-record facts, and the charter record was not reached. The Girl Scouts limb stands likewise at current-holder strength only. The township limb: troops are unit-level facts below every reached register (the exempt register's 34 rows hold no scout corporation), and no Lakeville troop's charter date stands in any carrier reached — residue, settler the council's unit records.
