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. While the course is expected to be put on by a crew (ideally by the officers and adult advisors), many councils/districts put on VLSC courses (hopefully led mainly by experienced Venturers) for their Crews. This is done mainly because many crews are too small to effectively put on the course themselves.
