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.

Famous quotes containing the words order and/or arrow:
“The complete life, the perfect pattern, includes old age as well as youth and maturity. The beauty of the morning and the radiance of noon are good, but it would be a very silly person who drew the curtains and turned on the light in order to shut out the tranquillity of the evening. Old age has its pleasures, which, though different, are not less than the pleasures of youth.”
—W. Somerset Maugham (1874–1965)
“Anton Petrovich turned into the passage, followed the arrow to men, mankind, human beings, marched past the toilet, past the kitchen, gave a start when a cat darted under his feet, quickened his step, reached the end of the passage, pushed open a door, and a shower of sunlight splashed his face.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
