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.

“Art and religion first; then philosophy; lastly science. That is the order of the great subjects of life, that’s their order of importance.”
—Muriel Spark (b. 1918)
“From cradle to grave this problem of running order through chaos, direction through space, discipline through freedom, unity through multiplicity, has always been, and must always be, the task of education, as it is the moral of religion, philosophy, science, art, politics and economy; but a boy’s will is his life, and he dies when it is broken, as the colt dies in harness, taking a new nature in becoming tame.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
“O Russia! O my wife! Our long and narrow Road lies clear though distressed.
Our road with an old Tatar freedom’s arrow Has deeply pierced our breast.”
—Alexander Blok (1880–1921)
