Background: Build the ties of Brotherhood within your chapter by hosting a Dive-In Movie. This combines two favorites of Scouts: movies and swimming!

Meeting Resources: This chapter meeting will require a swimming pool, video player, video projector, and a screen or wall to project the movie. Food, drinks, and changing areas will also be necessary. For extra fun, provide pool toys and rafts.

Meeting Content: Set up a video player and projector near the swimming pool. Project the movie
onto a screen or a side of a nearby building. Have your Brothers watch the film from the pool or
pool deck. To better prepare yourself and your officers, consider the following:

• Ensure that Scouting Safe Swim Defense is followed. All swimmers should have a swim test, a swim buddy, and supervision from a lifeguard.
• Show a movie that is rated appropriately for all Brothers in attendance.
• Consider starting your Dive-In Movie night with competitive water games. Team competition will encourage new chapter members to meet each other and everyone to work together.
• A movie that is aquatic-related adds a spark of fun. Be creative!
• Have tasty food on hand for hungry Scouts. Pizza and swimming go great together, but avoid cramps!
• Invite other chapters to participate.
• Consider opening the pool thirty minutes early and having a merit badge counselor onsite for Arrowmen to work on the swimming merit badge.
