Leather Tools Needed for Scouts

[dprezgay]

I'm back working with my Scout Council in Las Vegas.  Last week I completed an inventory and discussed with them what they need.  Below is a list of item I'm trying find for them.  If you are willing to donate anything on the list we would appreciate it.  In addition, if you want or need a donation letter from the Council, they will provide one.

If you would like to make a cash donation, please contact me.  I have approval to raise funds for the Leatherworking tools they need but they need to be specified for that purpose.  

Donations can be sent to:

Las Vegas Area Council - Scouting America

Attention Donna Sword

7220 Paradise Rd

Las Vegas, NV 89119

 

Please notify me what you are sending and any tracking numbers you have so I can head over there after it arrives.

If you need a donation letter please include the following info (from IRS website)

 

1. The name of the organization;
2. The amount of cash contribution;
3. A description (but not the value) of non-cash contribution;
4. A statement that no goods or services were provided by the organization in return for the contribution, if that was the case;
5. A description and good faith estimate of the value of goods or services, if any, that an organization provided in return for the contribution;
6. A statement that goods or services, if any, that an organization provided in return for the contribution consisted entirely of intangible religious benefits

This is not everything they need.  I will provide a more comprehensive list towards the end of January.

 

Mallets - Preferably Rawhide, yellow plastic or bakelite.  But wooden ones are needed too.  I estimate they need 130 of the preferable ones and around 40 wooden ones.

Poundo boards - they need about 60 of the 12"x12" size and around 150 of the 6"x6" size.

Large tool handles - They need around 150 of the large tool handles.  They need to have the little bearing on them that holds the 3d/Alphabet stamps on them.

Small tool handles - They have almost zero of them.  They need around 300 of these and need to have the little bearing on them too.

Handle stamps - We need lots of these. At least 1,000 of them

2D/3D stamps -  As many as we can get.

Stamp Sets - Sports, emoji, geometric, cartoon, native american, Mini Pictorial. etc...

1/4" stamp sets - Funtime, Tracks, Adventure, Bugs, Discover, etc...

Alphabet and number sets -

     Standard 3/4", 1/2", 3/8" and 1/4"

     8137 or T8137

Leather shears - As many as we can get

 

Needed only for the merit badge tool sets:

Swivel knives - they need around 60.

Granite Blocks - 12"x12" Need around 60 of them. 

Handle Stamps -  They need 60 sets of the 6 or 7 stamps that are included in the basic tool set.  Plus any others you wish to donate.

Alphabet and number sets - Any and all are welcome including incomplete sets.

#1 and #2 edge bevelers.  they need around 60

Super Shears - I'd like to get around 30 of them.

 

I will add additional items as we determine our needs.
