<p>Hello all-</p>
<p>For the additional information section of the CommonApp, I think I have the perfect experience to write about that describes my leadership experience and capabilities. However, I think it might sound too braggart-ish and wanted to know if I should revise it and how.</p>
<p>"I was elected Senior Patrol Leader of my Boy Scout troop for three consecutive terms during their formative period. We were a brand new troop and I was depended upon to go above and beyond what might typically be expected from an SPL in an established troop. I had to manage recruitment, finances, event planning, and meeting coordination. With very minimal adult support, I was able to more than triple enrollment and establish consistent lines of revenue from fundraising events. At the same time I was working on my own merit badges and advancement, I was also helping around a dozen other young boys succeed. This position gave me invaluable leadership experience and an intimate knowledge of the many diverse facets of running an organization largely on my own."</p>
<p>Thanks!!</p>
