Tom has always pushed me to be the best version of myself, and I will forever be grateful for the person he has pushed me to be. Tom wasn't the person to say no. If you wanted to do something, he'd just ask how we'd do it, and we would. For 8 years he has held a major role in my life, being there every step of the way as I grew not only as a scout but as a person. He's always been there for me in and out of scouts and I can't thank him enough for what he has done for me. He has always been so welcoming, and was never afraid to greet new people. I will always remember how welcomed I felt when I first joined the troop, because Tom just made it feel so open, and the older scouts were always so kind and helpful. Half of the time you wouldn't even see Tom because he has taught such good leaders that he would just sit back and let us do our thing. he always told us, "if you need anything I'll just be over here. You guys know what you're doing you don't need me." And we did, we always had a plan and we knew how to execute it because Tom taught us like that. Until something went wrong and somehow you'd see Tom there giving you the look knowing you did something wrong. He was always there when there was trouble, and you would have never even expected it. But that's how we stayed out of trouble, because we knew if we did something wrong then Tom's gonna show up. I could tell so many stories about Tom, and the great part is that they're all good memories. I've never had any bad experiences with Tom and that's just because of how great of a person he was to be around. You'll be greatly missed by so many. Especially by myself. Oh and don't forget you still owe me some merit badges. I hope I continue to make you proud in my future. May the great Scoutmaster be with us until we meet again. Goodnight scouts.

As we mourn the loss of our beloved Scoutmaster, mentor, and friend, Tom Cook, let us honor his legacy by adhering to The Scout Oath, The Scout Motto, and The Scout Law. Let us live each day to the fullest, do a good turn daily, and always help a friend in need.

Tom dedicated his life to helping others, but especially the youth of Troop 82. Thank you, Tom, for your countless years of dedication as the Scoutmaster of Troop 82 and the youths’ lives you impacted over the years. Rest easy, my friend. 💔🙏🏻💔you’ll be dearly missed by so many 😢

What a wonderful week lies in front of us. Half done, half to left to assail. We shall climb, embrace, conquer, and possibly even pause for rest as we gaze from its summit this weekend. Each week is a journey into the unknown and an opportunity to grow and teach others what our experience has given us. It is this type of mentality of growth, service, and adventure that lies at the heart of scouting. February holds National Scout Sunday in the United Methodist Church, and we will be celebrating it this Sunday, Feb 4th at 11 AM. We will be attempting to hold a campfire worship service with our scouts as they lead us in how they praise and celebrate God from the mountaintop, valley, or forest they find themselves. We hope you can join us as we celebrate with them, the great things our God is doing in the world, and each of our lives.

Peace and Blessings,
Pastor Jon
