What indivdual chants the sacred scriptures during religious ceremonies in the synagogue?
The "sacred scriptures" in the question seem to refer to the Torah and Prophets (and not to the regular Hebrew prayers that are chanted in all Jewish services.) The "religious ceremonies" in the question are the regular services when the Torah and the Prophets are read, i.e. the morning service on Monday, Thursday, Sabbath, and holidays, and the afternoon service on Sabbath, Yom Kippur, and public fasting days. Among Orthodox tradition, any adult (13+) Jewish male who is capable of learning the portion prescribed for the occasion and chanting it properly, and who is observant in his personal practice, is qualified to perform the public reading during the synagogue service. The assignment is considered an honor. Among Non-orthodox traditions, women over the age of 12 are also permitted this honor.
