Secretary, writes notes of meetings
Some Boy Scouts meet in churches, schools, or the VFW (veterans of foreign wars) hall. There are a lot of places different troops meet.
That is typically called a Jamboree or a Camporee, but that is only a very large gathering. Smaller gatherings include Troop Meetings and Patrol Meetings.
The Boy Scouts have several cheers that are used to promote camaraderie and enthusiasm during meetings and events. One popular cheer is the "Scout Cheer," where members raise their right hand and shout "Scout!" in response to the leader's call. Another common cheer is the "Campfire Cheer," which involves rhythmic clapping and chanting to create a lively atmosphere. These cheers help foster a sense of community and spirit among Scouts.
The Totin' Chip is a card issued to Scouts who have demonstrated their knowledge of safe knife handling and use. It is typically kept in the Scout's wallet or on their person as a symbol of their responsibility and skills. In some units, it may be displayed in a designated spot during meetings or activities to remind Scouts of their commitment to safety while using cutting tools.
During the Eternity season, all of the scouts die, however they come back to life.

They are funded through donations and fund raisers. Boy Scouts have an annual popcorn sale, and Girl Scouts have an annual cookie sale. They actually only get a small percentage of the sales. For instance, Girl Scouts sell their cookies for $3.50 a box, and they get to keep $0.60 of each sell. They depend heavily on donations.
Service patrols in Boy Scouts handle the rituals at boy scout meetings. These rituals include the opening flag ceremony, reciting the oath and law at the start and end of the meeting, and policing the area after the meeting to leave it as good as, or better than they found it.
