Courage is a main theme throughout To Kill a Mockingbird.
There is no one specific chapter about courage. Many scenes display courage, including Atticus shooting the dog, Mrs Dubose overcoming her morphine addiction and Tom Robinson trying to escape. This is not an exhaustive list.
Scout displays courage in chapters 4-7 when she stands up to her teacher, Miss Caroline, to defend Walter Cunningham for not taking a lunch. Additionally, she shows physical courage when she faces the rabid dog, Tim Johnson, by remaining calm and composed during the crisis. Finally, Scout also demonstrates moral courage by standing outside the jailhouse to protect her father, Atticus, from the angry mob.
One of the ways she does this is by not conforming to the southern lady stereotype. Her courage is in not being afraid to be an outsider- and this has been encourages by Atticus. She also shows her courage in childish ways- touching the Radley house and their independance. She shows it in an adult way when she behaves comfortingliy towards Boo Radley in the last chapter. I hope this helps.
