Scouting came to Papillion in 1913 with the formation of Boy Scout Troop 1. In 1921, the village gave the troop's scoutmaster, Rev. B. Johanssen, permission to build a log cabin as troop headquarters. Its limestone foundation came from an old mill house, and oak logs were cut and delivered from near the Platte River. Rev. Johanssen and local woodsmen spent the summer and fall building the cabin, and before the first snowfall it was completed with a green shingle roof and a stone fireplace. The community dedicated the cabin in June 1922. In 1927, Papillion Troop 1 was renumbered as Troop 60 and sponsored by the Brotherhood of St. Paul. In 1934, sponsorship passed to American Legion Post 32, which continues in that role. The Boy Scouts' Cabin has been in continuous use since 1922, still serving in Troop 60's operations, and it remains a beloved local landmark reflecting community pride in scouting and in Papillion.
