Duties:	Maintain a library of resources to support advancement, patrol and troop activities, and outings.

All items are stored in appropriate, clearly labeled containers and kept inside the cabinet (not on top or elsewhere). Keep and regularly add to a file of Scout-appropriate skits for campfire programs and other occasions. Maintain a file of troop special event scripts, such as courts of honor.
