Depends on ...

-What clubs they are
-How competitive it is
-If any awards won
-If any significant/famous people are involved
-Your position
-Your skill
-Your time dedicated
-Your high school in question
-What the adcoms think
-The college you're applying to
-The rest of your application
-How you plan on "positioning" yourself (ex. science person would focus on science clubs)

It probably doesn't matter much unless you achieve something significant, from policy changes to fundraising to doing something nationally recognized. Even if you are an officer, it might not make a huge difference.
