M-x customize-apropos "scratch" lead to the variable "initial-scratch-message".

The next is copied from *Help*:

---------------------------------
initial-scratch-message is a variable defined in `startup.el'.
Its value is 
";; This buffer is for notes you don't want to save, and for Lisp 
evaluation.\n;; If you want to create a file, visit that file with C-x C-f,\n;; 
then enter the text in that file's own buffer.\n\n"


Documentation:
Initial message displayed in *scratch* buffer at startup.
If this is nil, no message will be displayed.
If `inhibit-startup-screen' is non-nil, then no message is displayed,
regardless of the value of this variable.

You can customize this variable.
