Like all good things, summer vacation must sadly come to and end…
But, let’s have one more adventure before school days and homework start rolling in!
Join us at noon at the East Race Waterway in South Bend for some all day rafting!
Make some memories with your fellow Scouts within LaSalle Council. For the $20 registration fee you will receive snacks throughout the day and a pass to shoot the rapids as many times as you can before the day concludes at 5:00 PM. We encourage arriving at 11:45 to connect with our welcome tent and get your pass to start rafting as soon as they open the floodgates.
We can’t wait to see you there!

World Scout Scarf Day
2025-08-01
August 1st is World Scout Scarf Day
It is a day to celebrate the unity and spirit of Scouting around the world. Scouts are encouraged to wear their neckerchiefs (or scarves) with pride, symbolizing their connection to the global Scouting movement. The day commemorates the first Brownsea Island Scout camp in 1907.
In addition to being World Scout Scarf Day, August 1st also marks the anniversary of the conversion of Exploring Posts to Venturing Crews in 1998. This means it’s also recognized as the birthday of Venturing, an arm of Scouting in the United States.
How do we celebrate in LaSalle Council?
– Wear your neckerchief!
– Share photos on social media (using hashtags like #WorldScoutScarfDay and #LaSalleCouncil).
– Participate in Scouting activities.
– You can also download our 2025 World Scout Scarf Day Certificate (PDF) to commemorate your participation.
