The Kansas City Scout is a 10-foot tall depiction of a Sioux Indian on horseback, surveying the landscape. The statue was originally cast in 1915 for the Panama Pacific Exposition in San Francisco. The statue won the gold medal and as it traveled toward the East Coast, it was installed temporarily in Kansas City.
