Last year Lowell Dad Burk Murray showed us how to set up a Minecraft Server and we discussed the benefits of hosted servers. Pack 206 Dad Kerry Stiles jumped in and set one up for his group. At this meeting, Dad Kerry Stiles and Lowell Dad Burk Murray will share their experiences with us and we’ll visualize (and hopefully have time to set up) Our Own Private Minecraft Server. No experience necessary.

*** This date will kick off our Minecraft Mob Club which will meet monthly. ***
