The Basic Scout Leadership Course is the main course for Scouts working towards their Australian Scout Medallion. The course was re-presented in 2008 by the NSW State Mindari to update the content and course materials. This course is designed for 12 and 13 year old Scouts who have completed the Pioneer Award.

The Scout Leadership Course is run at a district or region level to provide leaderskip skills to Scouts. Resources to support Leaders and Commissioners in planning and delivering the course are available here.
