Order of The Arrow
The Council is served by two Order of the Arrow lodges: Shawnee Lodge, which serves the Greater Saint Louis Metro area, and Anpetu-We Lodge which serves southeast Missouri and southern Illinois. The Council is one of only two councils that is home to more than one Order of the Arrow Lodges, with the other being the Greater New York Councils which operates one lodge in each of its five boroughs. Upon completion of the mergers of the early 1990s, it was decided that the Council was geographically too large to administer one Order of the Arrow program. The decision was made to merge the Ney-a-Ti lodge, from the Egyptian council with the Anpetu-We lodge, and make two lodges within the Council.
