The Scout is a bronze statue of Buffalo Bill Cody outside the Buffalo Bill Historical Center in Cody, Wyoming. The project was initiated by Cody's niece and was sculpted by Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney in 1924.

Unfotunately, Cody was buried, against his wishes, at Lookout Mountain in Colorado.The statue's full title is Buffalo Bill - The Scout and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.
