Every Thursday during Camp Horseshoe, Paoli 1 enjoy Troop Night by watching a movie. In previous years, the smaller troop was packed into the van and driven to a movie theater to watch a movie and play in the arcade. Due to the growing number of scouts, Paoli 1 was forced to stay in camp. However, this did not stop the troop from having its traditional movie night. Adam Muhlenhaupt and his family brought over portable equipment to rig up a home theater in camp.
Besides the feature film, sometimes, some Pixar shorts will be shown, which all are very entertaining.

In 2013, Scoutmaster in Camp, Mr. Kiniry, fried fresh potatoes to make his iconic french fries for the scouts to eat.
In 2014, Mr. Palmer brought down ice cream from his own shop for the kids to eat. Unfortunately it was frozen so much that the scouts were only able to eat it after the movie had ended.
