Run over them with a Radiance and then go heal up.  Rinse repeat.

If you pay attention, the "decloak" ability of scouts outranges the homing acquisition of the mines.  The problem is that their attack does not, so when they move closer to actually shoot the mine they set it off.  If you use fighters to the deal damage and carefully inch your scouts forward, you can do it without setting them off.

Darvins got it right, but you dont have to inch your scouts, they can outrun the mines and you can pick them off while theyre chasing your scout. Probably will lose a few scouts doing this, but hey they're cheap and easy to replace.

Get all your caps together and run over the minefield. Its the fastest and easiest way.

The only types of mines you should do that to are gravity mines.  Seriously, they don't deal damage, just send one unit to stomp all over them <_<
