On June 9, 1928, the Greater Cleveland Council of the Boy Scouts of America presented the Knights of Columbus Council 947, Painesville, Ohio; it's first charter authorizing the organization to sponsor a Boy Scout troop.
Troop 4 was formed under the leadership of the Grand Knight T. J. O'Brien, also Acting Chairman, Scoutmaster Clifford B. Stephens and his committee: Harry Nolan, Sr., Frank Stanton, Sr., John D. Way, O.D., and Frank E. Link. Twenty-three (23) boys were registered.
