About Scoutcraft – Minecraft for Scouts[edit | edit source]
We’ve created Scoutcraft, a multi-player Minecraft and Discord server, to give Cub Scouts, their friends, and Summer Scout campers a safe environment to interact with each other and keep up the socialization with friends and fellow Cub Scouts that they’ve been missing since Cub Scouts ended in-person meetings back in March. Scoutcraft is restricted to children from Kindergarten – 5th grade only, and is monitored by Scouters, which are our registered and trained Cub Scout leaders, as well as select Scouts BSA (formerly Boy Scout) members (6th grade – 12th grade).
The Scoutcraft Universe[edit | edit source]
Now for the technical stuff… Scoutcraft currently has four worlds – the Reservation (survival), the Wilderness (creative) the Nether and the End. Everything is connected by the Scoutcraft Skylobby – a world in the sky that helps players move from place to place. Scoutcraft is built on a Spigot (Java) platform, but allows play from both Java (original) and Bedrock (Pocket) edition clients. Bedrock is what most IOS, Android, Xbox and Windows 10 devices use. Bedrock users sometimes look like Steve or Alex instead of their usual character’s skin, but other than that Bedrock users function perfectly normal on our Java server. Scoutcraft worlds are heavily modded for both safety and fun play, and we add features often. It’s meant to grow and get better and better over time.
Voice Chat[edit | edit source]
Mumble is a voice/chat server that allows all of the online players to interact by voice and chat while in game play. It’s an important part of the socialization that children receive from Scoutcraft. Mumble requires a microphone and headphones or speakers for voice interaction. Our Mumble server is also privately operated and monitored for the safety and security of our young players, and may be offline from time-to-time when there are no monitors available.
Safety and Well-Being[edit | edit source]
By default and to protect the safety and well being of our players, only pre-approved, or "whitelisted" players are allowed to access Scoutcraft.
Getting started[edit | edit source]
Ready to go?
Cub Scouts[edit | edit source]
There are three ways for Cubscouts to join. Here's how:
Summer Scouts[edit | edit source]
Anyone registered for Summer Scouts the will be whitelisted, meaning they have access to the servers based on their username. They can then request that other friends be whitelisted as well. Requests to add friends will usually be approved if a parent or guardian of a camper or Scout vouches for that individual.
