This spot is the greatest spot in all of Kansas City. The Scout in my opinion has the second best view of downtown (The top of Liberty Memorial is number 1). You get to see nearly ever aspect of the city from this one statue in Penn Valley park. I was just down there last week and it really re-entered my heart as a great spot. The thing is, not many people are there (besides people who leave beer around it and shoot off illegal fireworks down there) because it is off the road a bit in Penn Valley Park. The Scout actually wasn't even supposed to be in Kansas City. History Lesson: The Scout was a new sculpture that was touring the United States in the twenties. It stopped in at Penn Valley Park and Kansas Cityans paid to keep it there. Thank goodness for that money. Without it, Kansas City would be down one great spot.
