The Moose Legion, your next step in the Loyal Order of Moose was organized in 1913. Originally founded as ‘The Mooseheart Legion of the World,’ this degree is comprised of thousands of men throughout the fraternity who desire to have fun while providing greater service to their Lodge and Moose Legion.

This degree was originally created for the sole purpose of raising a one million dollar endowment fund, plus giving Moose members an additional way to support the enormous task of building a new child city, later to be called ‘Mooseheart.’ Moose Legionnaires also played an important part in the development of Moosehaven, our ‘City of Contentment’, for the support of our senior members and spouses in their later years.

Members of the Moose Legion have always given generously to support the building programs at Mooseheart and Moosehaven, and the funding of Camp Ross. Today’s Moose Legionnaires play an active role in every charitable endeavor of our Order, illustrating the generosity of all Moose Legionnaires. Being active in the Degree of Service gives you the extra benefit of making new friends among Moose members and sharing good times with them during Celebrations and social functions.

An active member of the Moose Legion is recognized as a leader in our Order, a man ‘advancing’ in the ranks of the Moose fraternity. Membership in the Degree of Service gives you the privilege of wearing the official maroon Moose Legion blazer and striped tie with insignia. Black trousers, black socks and black shoes with white shirt complete the official apparel. The blazer color indicates the degree to which the Moose Legionnaire has progressed.

This official regalia may be worn at all Moose functions, and identifies you as a member working toward the Fellowship and Pilgrim degrees, which come only in recognition of distinguished service to the order. A French blue blazer is worn by those who have attained the Fellowship Degree of Honor, and the gold blazer symbolizes the highest degree awarded on behalf of a grateful fraternity, the Pilgrim Degree of Merit.
