About Future Builder Scouts

Kofi is the Director and founder of Future Builder Scouts. Kofi believes that for Ghana to become a global competitor, it must invest heavily in its youth. He believes that Ghana must first develop its youth mentally, spiritually, physically, and morally so that they will be properly equipped to lead.

Kofi holds a Master of Science Degree in Management from the University of St. Francis in Joliet, Illinois. He has previously served on the boards of several non-profit organizations, including the Rotary Club of Evanston (Illinois) and Books & Breakfast, a program that provides reading assistance and breakfast for hundreds of students in Evanston, Illinois.

In 2013, Kofi worked with students attending Northwestern University (Evanston, Illinois) to create one of the largest STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) events for high school offered in Illinois.

Warren is the Director of Friends of Future Builder Scouts, and is an Assistant Scoutmaster for Boy Scout Troop 20 in Winnetka, Illinois.

In 2010, Warren and Kofi struck up a friendship working together on the Friends of Scouting fundraising campaign. When Kofi returned to the U.S. in 2017, he described his success in starting Future Builder Scouts, and Warren enthusiastically agreed to support his efforts. Kofi and Warren began meeting regularly to further define the vision and potential of the program. It was through those meetings and the engagement of others that Friends of Future Builder Scouts was formally chartered as a not-for-profit corporation in the State of Illinois.

Warren lead a delegation of U.S. scouts to Ghana in June of 2019. The trip was a remarkable cultural exchange which culminated in the first Future Builder Scouts "Jamboree" hosting over 300 participants. As part of their Eagle Scout service project, some of the U.S. scouts led programs and activities to benefit the Future Builder Scouts in Ghana.
