Configuring the Discord Server
Installing Discord[edit | edit source]
Discord is located at http://discord.com. You can either download a Discord client, or run Discord directly through a browser. Both are identical, choose whichever version you prefer.
You'll need to register for a Discord account - children under 13 aren't allowed to register their own account. You may register using your child's email address if you want to keep the separation. It's also ok to use your own Discord account so you can monitor your child's use.
Joining the Discord Server[edit | edit source]
Invites[edit | edit source]
Before joining the Scoutcraft Discord Server, you'll need an invite, which is in the form of a URL. The only way to get an invite is when you email pack3807bsa@gmail.com to submit your username, as explained in the installation instructions. This is done for safety reasons - we don't want anyone we don't know or haven't approved to be able to interact with our children.
DON'T GIVE OUT YOUR INVITE TO ANYONE ELSE!!!
Adding the Server[edit | edit source]
To join, follow the invite link and log in. Once you do, you'll see the Scoutcraft server token on the left side of your dashboard.
If you're unable to use the URL directly, or if you're already logged in and looking at the dashboard, click the + on the left side of the dashboard. When you hover over it you'll see it says Add a Server. You'll then be presented with two options. Choose Join a Server. Then paste in the invite. You should now see the Scoutcraft server token on the left side of your dashboard.
Channels[edit | edit source]
To select the Scoutcraft server, click on the Scoutcraft token on the left side of the dashboard. Once you're in the server, you'll see several "channels" to choose from. To join a channel, simply click on it.
- Gameplay Prox Voice Channel - This is the main voice/video channel. Use it only when actually playing Scoutcraft.
- Scoutcraft Voice Chat - This is a voice/video channel that you can use to talk to your friends when you're offline.
- #scoutcraft-text-chat - This is a text chat channel that can be used anytime, whether you're on the server or not.
- Use the #scoutcraft-text-chat channel to coordinate play times with other Cubs! Post the time you'll be on the server, and your friends can log on and see your post so they know when to meet you.
- #scoutcraft-server-console - Only the Scoutcraft bot can post to this channel. It posts all of the server commands here.
- #scoutcraft-server-status - This channel is also the Scoutcraft bot's. It posts Scoutcraft status updates.
Safety[edit | edit source]
A word of warning: Discord also has channels that may be inappropriate for children, so make sure to only allow them to subscribe to private servers and channels that you know are safe. Scoutcraft's channels are private and safe. Access is by invite only, and only Scoutcraft players and administrators are invited. Abuses of the Scoutcraft Discord server, such as bad language, sexual references or bullying, will result in a permanent Discord ban at administrators' discretion.
