The scout councils' successions, and the one troop this ground holds

The eleventh item runs both councils' successions whole and tests them against this ground, dated November 2026. The Boy Scout line ends at the LaSalle Council (No. 165), South Bend (lasallecouncilbsa.org; ScoutWiki council list) — Sakima Lodge; camps Wood Lake Scout Reservation/Camp Tamarack, Camp ToPeNeBee and Rice Woods; serving eight counties of northern Indiana and southwestern Michigan with more than 4,000 youth and adult leaders, and reporting growth through 2023–24 (Michiana Business News, December 4, 2024). The succession into it is carried in line at its sourced strength: the South Bend Tribune's obituary of William Fox (May 29, 2008) records one volunteer's service across the whole chain — St. Joseph Valley Council, then Tri-Valley Council, then Northern Indiana Council, and "the current LaSalle Council" — named in that order by a man who sat on the executive boards of all four. The individual merger dates between those forms were not settled in any council-published history reached; that element is a NAMED GAP — settler: the LaSalle Council's own published history and the BSA council-merger lists — and the succession itself is printed on the obituary's strength, no higher.

The Girl Scout line runs: Singing Sands Council of South Bend — ten counties, some 9,000 girls and 2,000 adults in 2001, headquarters at 3620 Deahl Court, South Bend (Tribune, 2001) — merged under GSUSA's national realignment (312 councils to 109) with the Indiana Lakeland and Limberlost councils into the Girl Scouts of Northern Indiana-Michiana, headquartered at Fort Wayne, in the realignment's final round completed in 2009 (IBJ, at that strength; the council's own history is the settler for the exact effective date). Tested against this ground, the unit record is one-sided and is printed exactly: Boy Scout Troop 122 is documented on this ground in the present tense — it serves the pancake-and-sausage breakfasts at the Osceola Music Festival at Fern Hunsberger Park (Food & Drink's vendor record, current through the August 2025 and 2026 festivals) — and it is the one Osceola scout unit the record reached carries. No Osceola Cub Scout pack and no Girl Scout troop seated in the town or township was located in the unit-finder and directory searches run in November 2026; the settler for a definitive unit census is named: beascout.org's unit listings, read unit by unit for the township's ZIP ground. As of November 2026, then: two council successions whole at boundary, one troop standing on this ground, and the pack-and-Girl-Scout question open at the settler named.
