Ghana

In 2019, Troop 20 leadership embarked on an effort to help grow Scouting in the Country of Ghana by creating Friends of Future Builder Scouts (a 501 c 3) to support the previous Executive Director of the North East Illinois Council’s effort to start scouting in Ghana.  In 2019, 10 Troop 20 Scouts went to Ghana to engage in Eagle Projects, run a Mini-Jamboree for over 300 local scouts, and engage in a remarkable cultural exchange.  In 2020, the effort has been expanded to building and equipping a community library.  Various parts of the effort are Eagle Projects as can be seen on the Future Builder Scout website.
