Airport Overnight
On Friday, November 14th, the Greater Rochester International Airport hosted 20 of our Cub Scouts for a program and sleepover. The program began with a visit from 5 therapy dogs. Their owners talked to us about the different ways the dogs help people and demonstrated many obedience tricks. After learning dog safety, the boys were able to greet and pet the 4 German Shepherds and 1 Golden Retriever. The dogs were all extremely friendly and well behaved, and some of our Cubs were able to conquer their fear of large dogs and feel more comfortable around them. Speaking of well behaved, after the presentation, one of our leaders got a comment from someone that our group of boys was the most well behaved group they had seen in 4 years of doing this. Way to go, boys - we are very proud of you!!!!
Next came security. A metal object was hidden on one of our boys, and a security guard scanned him with his detector wand to try and find it. He did. After a brief talk about airport security, the boys were processed through the real security to be able to get to the airline gates. We were just in time to see the Midtown Clock of Nations open and reveal it's 12 scenes of puppets dancing to music. The clock is on loan to the airport before it moves to a permanent home at Golisano Children's Hospital.
Once at the gates, a member of the Airport Crash Fire Rescue Team spoke to us about his job and even brought and put on his full gear for us. Then our guide said we could get on one of the planes but we had a job to do first before we could board. The Cubs formed lines and greeted about 70 people getting off their flight with high fives and, "Welcome to Rochester!". It made every passenger smile! The boys were then allowed to board the plane and everyone received complimentary pretzels.
On to the control room where every inch of the airport is monitored by camera. The boys felt sneaky because they were able to spy on their parents and leaders that stayed behind to set up camp for the night in the room that we were in. After a snack and a bit of watching Madagascar, it was time for some shut-eye. And eventually, all eyes were shut, dreaming of the airplanes that were right outside our window I'm sure.
