Help Magnus Build a Life Jacket Loaner Station

Hi there, I'm Magnus Henry.

I'm a Life Scout from troop 64. I've done scouting for nearly a decade now, and since May I've been working with Longmont Rangers on my Eagle Scout Service project: a Life Jacket Loaner Station- in order to progress to the rank of Eagle. It'll be located on the South loading ramp of the lake in an accessible manner (I've also added Images of a sketch of the Station and a picture of the station's location. Note that the sketch is rough and may not entirely represent what the finished station will look like, but for now it's close enough).

This all started when the Longmont Parks ranger division was looking for some people to help build these life jacket loaner stations around the city. They were concerned about people not using life jackets on the water while boating or paddleboarding and not being able to warn people about doing so without one. By placing these life jacket loaner stations around these active lakes (like Lake Mcintosh), it allows the rangers to assure everyone can be safe without actually being there.

But building these isn't easy, and I can't do it alone, so I need your help. The lending station isn't free, and my current estimates are around $2000, which isn't crazy, but it's still a lot of money I don't have.

By supporting me, you can help protect your community on the water by providing easy access to life jackets for people that forgot them, or don't have life jackets in the first place.
