Moose Legion History

I have heard the term used around the Lodge and I have seen members wearing the crimson colored shirt and jackets, but I have no idea what it means. The “Moose Legion”, “Second Degree”, or “Degree of Service” was created by resolution, during the annual convention of the Supreme Lodge in Cincinnati, Ohio, and adopted by the Supreme Council in 1913, as the “Mooseheart Legion of the World”. Initially, and continuing until 1931, women enjoyed full membership, as an intricate part of the Mooseheart Legion of the World. Early issues of the Moose Magazine proclaimed this union of men and women with the headlines… “Mooseheart Legion for Men and Women”. These Moose Legionnaires, proven over and over again… “active Moose Legionnaires are the greatest asset a Lodge can possess!” The year 1931 brought the formal organization of the Women of the Moose, and produced an amicable split from the men, as a separate and distinct unit of the fraternity. In the same year, the degree changed its name to “Legion of the Moose”, and continued under this banner until early 1991, when the name changed once again, to “Moose Legion”, with reference to the “degree of service” and thousands who followed have proven over and over again… “active Moose Legionnaires are the greatest asset a Lodge can possess!”
