Joining Scoutcraft

Eligibility

There are currently four categories of people who are eligible to join Scoutcraft:

Cub Scouts

Any actively registered Homewood Scout may request and will be granted a membership to Scoutcraft. All Homewood Scouts are designated as "Cub Scouts," and have the same access as "default" members, plus access to exclusive features such as special cheats, members-only mini-games and ability to purchase special items. Once a Homewood Scout bridges to BAC Troop 5,. their Scoutcraft designation will change from "Cub Scout" to "ScoutsBSA," see below.

Summer Scouts

Any fully registered Summer Scout who is not a registered Homewood Scout may request and will be granted a membership to Scoutcraft as well. Summer Scout members are designated as "default" members and won't have access to exclusive features.  Any Summer Scout who opts to join Homewood Scouting will automatically be upgraded to "Cub Scout" status and have access to all exclusive features.

Guests

Homewood Scouts and Summer Scouts may request that friends outside of Scouting be whitelisted as well.  Requests to add friends will usually be approved if a parent or guardian of a Homewood or Summer Scout vouches for that individual. Guests may not be over 18 years of age. Guest users are designated as "default" users and their membership will last for 30 days. At the end of the 30 days, they will need to register as a Homewood Scout in order to continue using Scoutcraft.

ScoutsBSA

Scouts from Homewood Scouting's feeder troops may also request and be granted a membership to Scoutcraft. They will have a "ScoutsBSA" designation which entitles them to all "Cub Scout" features (see above) plus additional features and responsibilities reserved for ScoutsBSA members. They must be a currently registered youth member of the BSA and under 18 years of age. If membership with BSA terminates, access to Scoutcraft will be revoked.

Lifetime Membership

Once a Scoutcraft member, always a Scoutcraft member (until age 18). If a player leaves for another unit or decides not to renew their BSA membership they may still retain their membership to Scoutcraft, although they will be demoted to "default" designation, which removes access to all exclusive features.

Limits

Age Limits

Members of Scoutcraft must be under 18 years of age. This is a very strict rule. Upon turning 18, the member's account will be terminated, however their build content will remain on the server. If they would like to take particular build content with them, they must request, prior to the date of termination, that an Op copy that content into schematic files. (Generating of schematics, even if properly requested, is at the Ops' discretion.)

Exceptions to Age Limits

Adult Ops may or may not be 18 years or older. Unit Leaders are always 18 years or older. No person 18 or over who has access to any part of Scoutcraft may access or use Scoutcraft in any way whatsoever during gameplay hours. This also includes use of the discord server. Adults 18 years or over may only access Scoutcraft during off hours when no Scouts have access. Unit leaders still have access to the server's control panel and console, but those back-end tools are for programming and maintenance and do not allow interaction with players.
