| The Fellowship Degree of Honor is an honorary Degree of the Loyal Order of Moose. It was first created on August 7, 1918. The Degree is conferred only upon Moose Legionnaires who are recommended by the Fellows of their Lodge and approved by the Pilgrim Council. The selection process begins during the month of November, which has been designated by the fraternity as Fellowship Degree Honor Month. This is a time when special activities are scheduled within Lodges to pay tribute to these dedicated fraternalists. It is also the time when the Fellows of the Lodge gather to review the service of members of the Moose Legion within their Lodge and, providing the Lodge has received a recommendation form from their Regional Manager, select a Moose Legionnaire to be recommended for elevation to the Degree of Honor. The recommendation is highly confidential and is never revealed until such time as the recommended Moose Legionnaire is selected and called by the Pilgrim Council and subsequently conferred with the Degree of Honor. The opportunity to serve on the Lodge Fellowship Committee is one of the privileges of being a Fellow. This select group may meet as often as they like to socialize, raise funds for special projects or conduct other business beneficial to the Degree. The official regalia of a Fellow is a French-blue blazer featuring the Fellowship logo, coordinated necktie, white shirt and black trousers. The regalia is worn in its entirety or not at all. The regalia may be worn at any function of the Order and is symbolic of the character and strength that these men provide to the Moose fraternal structure. A Fellow is also entitled to wear the Fellowship medallion, available through Moose International Catalog Sales and may be worn at any function of the Order. |

| The Pilgrim Degree of Merit is the highest honor that can be bestowed upon a member of the Loyal Order of Moose. This Degree is conferred only in the House of God at Mooseheart, Illinois and comes as a reward for extraordinary service to the Order. This degree was originally created on August 1, 1918. All Pilgrims of the Order are sent special recommendation forms annually and may recommend any member of the Order, for this Degree, who has attained the Fellowship Degree of Honor, and meets some other basic minimum qualifications, by submitting this form to the Office of the Director General. Fellows recommended will then have their record of service evaluated for merit. Those attaining the highest level of service will be presented to the Pilgrim Consistory “all living Past Supreme Governors“ for their review and approval. Once the list has been finalized, the approved candidates receive the call to assemble in the House of God for the conferral. The call remains confidential until the Degree has been conferred. Special Pilgrim Presentations are then generally scheduled in the Lodges of new Pilgrims, or at an association event, after the conferral. This presentation is where the new Pilgrim is officially presented with his regalia and is coordinated with the Regional Manager or a Pilgrim Representative from that association. Family, friends, community leaders, Lodge members, and other Pilgrims of the Order are invited to attend this fraternal tribute. The official regalia of a Pilgrim is a gold blazer featuring the Pilgrim logo, with coordinated necktie, white shirt and black trousers. A Pilgrim is also entitled to wear the Pilgrim medallion with gold cord. This regalia and medallion may be worn at any function of the Order and is symbolic of the dedication, commitment and outstanding service that these men have provided to the Moose Fraternity. |
