Kazuki Russo at the Cradle of Aviation.

Kazuki Russo, just 14 years old was a wonderfully surprising guest speaker at the recent 2018 Aviation Luncheon, sponsored by the Queens Scouting, Boy Scouts of America on September 26, 2018 at the Cradle of Aviation.

Kazuki attends the Academy of Film and Television High School in Long Island City and started in the Cub Scouts at school, joined the Pack in the neighborhood, and eventually “crossed over” to the Troop. Kazuki came to be a “youth speaker” through the training program offered by the Boy Scouts of America, Greater New York Council, and was recommended by one of its organizers to speak at this event.
