The Scout, Bronze sculpture in Penn Valley Park, Kansas City, United States.
The Scout stands over 10 feet tall as a bronze sculpture depicting a Sioux warrior mounted on horseback, surveying the landscape from his elevated position in Penn Valley Park.
Created by Cyrus Edwin Dallin in 1910, The Scout was first displayed at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco in 1915, where it received a gold medal award.
The sculpture serves as a memorial to local Native American tribes and has become an emblem for Kansas City, inspiring the names of local features like the Kansas City Scout traffic system.
Visitors can access The Scout daily from 5 a.m. to midnight in Penn Valley Park, which also offers athletic courts, dog parks, fountains, and trails for recreational activities.
A half-scale replica of The Scout was presented to Seville, Spain, in 1992 as part of the sister-city relationship, demonstrating the sculpture's international recognition and cultural significance.
