Give concrete examples tied to the award’s specific criteria (e.g., “organized three multi-troop STEM days serving 150 girls,” “mentored two new leaders through first cookie season,” “secured in-kind donations that saved $2,000,” “built a new community partnership that expanded programming in two counties,” etc.).
