b'When Boyd Williams attended the 1981 National Boy Scout Jamboree and traded a few patches he probably never thought he\'d eventually become one of the well-known collectors in Tennessee.\\xa0 However, after moving back home to Franklin, Tennessee in 1994 and getting back active in Scouting he soon caught the patch collecting bug.\\xa0 As an active Scouter in the Middle Tennessee Council and Wa-Hi-Nasa Lodge 111 he started collecting everything local.\\xa0 Along the way his passion for that local stuff led him to dig deep for council and district activity patches - something that many collectors ignore.\\xa0 In fact one of the reasons he states for getting into that niche is that others were\'nt interested in it.\\xa0 So back around 2005 even though he admits to not being a computer genius he started building a website to document his collection and preserve the history of the activity patches from his council.\\xa0 http://www.mtcpatches.com was built using a now defunct software program so when it crashed in 2013 he got help from a local Scouter and set about building it back from scratch.\\xa0 Today, the website has neat district maps and every council and district patch that he knows of.\\xa0 Boyd has even expanded to add a category for the Grimes Canoe Base and the shoulder insignia of the MTC.\\xa0 In our interview Boyd and I talk about all this and I share how his site is an inspiration for me and should be to others.
