Quick answer: To get the Wild West Pioneers Scout Hut for Margaret's search, unlock its idea in the Expedition and Ideas panel; it then appears in the build menu under World Map. Make boards with a sawmill, build the hut, and connect it by road to the Town Hall. Create an expedition with five people, 20 money, and 20 canned goods, then send the scouts to Deep Forest. Sources: developer reply, gameplay, build-menu reply.
Players also call it Scout Hut, scout hut unlock, scout hut for Margaret, scout hut expedition, Spiel hängt fest bei Kundschafterhütte, or Scout cabin? The last two names come from Steam discussions and the Margaret question.
