This is the clearist definition of leadership I have ever found. It hits on two essential points of leadership: that you must take the initiative in a leadership role, and that not all leadership roles are buerecratic. "Taking the inititative" means that a required activity (e.g. 4-H carnival) does not count as leadership (it is probably still participation, though).
-For this section, it is imparative to be very specific. For each entry, include exactly what position you were in, and if appropriate what your duties were. If you list committees or other groups, make sure you specify whether you were a member or chair. You must show how you showed leadership, and not just some larger group of people.

Chronicle all of your altuistic service for others through 4-H in this section. In order to be recorded here, your actions must not be reimbersed in any way (that kind of defeats the point of service).
-We also ask that all of the activities here be specifically done in the name of 4-H. In other words, activities done through church, other clubs, or out of duty to family don't belong here.

This is the part where you get to tie every other part of your record book together into a coherent narative. Tell the judges how your projects and activities in 4-H have developed and worked with one another. Did you learn something in ropecraft that made your beef project easier? Maybe your rabbit who chewed through the wires in the barn inspired your electronics project this year. Or maybe you didn't have as much time as you wanted to work with your showmanship lamb because you were nursing a sick pig. The 4-H story is the perfect place to talk about these things.
