Jack leaves the beast an offering of the sow's head, mounted on a stick, and her guts. He later advises his tribe to, and I quote... "So leave the mountain alone.... and give it the head if you go hunting." After further thought he adds, "We'd better keep on the right side of him, anyhow. You can't tell what he might do."
Jack's denial that they killed the beast reveal about him that beast still exists. His plan that they keep on the "right side of the beast" suggest that people frequent make offerings to satisfy the beast. I think Jack truly believe there's a beast because he had seen it on the mountain top. His continuing to promote the existence of the beast to the others give him advantage over them by making obey him if they want to be safe!
In reality, the beast is really the savagery inside the boys, so it changes as they change. However, Jack uses the argument of the beast's deception to keep them afraid and under his control.
Jack said "Bollock to the rules" during the meeting in chapter 5: Beast From Water. Later, at the meeting in chapter 6: Beast From Air, Jack said, when talking about some of the other boys "...It's time some people knew they've got to keep quiet and leave deciding things to the rest of us---."
Jack needs the power of the beast in a couple of ways: as a common enemy for the boys to unite them; as a way to gain respect and to manipulate others as well as to satisfy his hunger for power; and as an excuse for hunting perhaps. Jack sort of became the spokesperson in the previous few chapters. He give offerings to it, tell others to leave it alone on 'the other side'. He is trying to make it more real for the others. Jack himself does not believe in the physical beast but is closer to the true beast- the capacity for evil in everyone, then everyone, even Simon. He is not afraid of it, as no one would use things they are uncertain or afraid of. if the beast is dead, he will loose power. Therefore even though he consciously recognize the murder of Simon though he hides it from the others. No one could stop him from using the beast now that Simon has died. He could make the beast immortal.
Jack says that they should continue to make offerings and sacrifices to the beast in order to keep it happy and prevent it from harming them.

Jack and his savages planned to stay on the beast's good side by offering it sacrifices in the form of animal carcasses. They believed that by making these offerings, the beast would be appeased and not harm them. This was a way for them to maintain control and power within their group.

Ralph suggests building a signal fire to attract passing ships for rescue and keep the beast at bay. He believes that maintaining a smoke signal will increase their chances of being rescued and dispel the fear of the beast among the other boys.

in the west wing of the castle
Once Ralph, followed by Jack, had explored Castle Rock and determined that the beast was not there Jack and some of his hunters began toppling rocks from the cliff top. Some of the boys wanted to return to the shelters, others wanted to roll more rocks. Only Ralph saw the need to continue the hunt for the beast and to relight the signal fire. he insisted that they should go to the mountain top, where Samneric said that they had seen the beast.
Jack suggests that the new place could be defended by building a fort at the entrance to serve as a barrier and by placing guards to keep watch at all times to prevent anyone from entering without permission.
