Venturing Leadership Skills Course
Introduction to Leadership Skills is the first level leadership development course for youth in the Boy Scouts of America. Introduction to Leadership Skills for Crews ''Introduction to Leadership Skills for Crews'' is the first level leadership development course for Venturers in the Boy Scouts of America's Venturing program for older youth (14–21). It replaced the Venturing Leadership Skills Course in 2014. While the course is expected to be put on by a crew (ideally by the officers and adult advisors), many councils/districts put on ILSC courses (hopefully led mainly by experienced Venturers) for their Crews.

Leadership Development
Leadership development is the process which helps expand the capacity of individuals to perform in leadership roles within organizations. Leadership roles are those that facilitate execution of an organization's strategy through building alignment, winning mindshare and growing the capabilities of others. Leadership roles may be formal, with the corresponding authority to make decisions and take responsibility, or they may be informal roles with little official authority (e.g., a member of a team who influences team engagement, purpose and direction; a lateral peer who must listen and negotiate through influence).
