First: Historical background

It was established in 1919 by the English army as an officer camp with internal facilities which are still there. Its area is 45 acres with a number of aesthetically planned gardens and trees of different ages symbolizing the historical journey of the institute. Called as permanent scouting camp, it was supervised in 1941 by the general department of physical, military and scouting education. In 1954, it was supervised by Liberation organization, Socialist union and then by Socailist youth organization respectively. In 1968, it was affiliated to youth directorate of Cairo governorate. In 1980, it was co-supervised by the general department of physical, military and scouting education and the supreme council of youth and sports. In 1990, it was supervised by the ministry of higher education and was then renamed the leadership qualification institute. Ever since then, it has offered all the academic year round especially during the summer time cultural courses to university youth, teaching staff members and assistants, and mission students and academic mission members. It is exquisitely located within the vicinity of Helwan university and Elbar Elgharbi area of the underground at the end of Abdallah Basha street.

The students used to live in wooden kiosks in addition to the available space of the villas and some tents as a solution of accommodation problem. Things remained the same until 1996 when the ministry of higher education, after affiliating the institute to it, developed it partly in collaboration with educational buildings agency of the ministry of education.    ​
