becomes eligible for life.  If a Moose Legionnaire is dropped and decides to reinstate, he does not
have to qualify yet again since he is merely paying back dues. If a member has been dropped from
the Moose Legion rolls and has passed the 24 month timeline required for reinstatement of his
Moose Legion membership, he may reenroll in the Moose Legion without need of any further
requalification other than having been a Moose Legionnaire.

The Moose Legion Secretary will receive a listing of Moose Legion candidates within his jurisdiction
within 30 days of each candidate’s eligibility. Upon receipt of this list, the Moose Legion Secretary
should then copy the applicable names to each Assistant Secretary representing each Moose Lodge
within that Moose Legion jurisdiction.

Sponsor credits will be given for new and former members with points awarded toward the
membership Medal of Honor and Elite Moose Legion Ring as have been established.

A Moose Legionnaire may hold membership in multiple Moose Legions even though he has no
Moose Lodge affiliation within those additional Moose Legion jurisdictions.

Congratulations - If you have met the qualifications necessary to become a member of the Moose
Legion – the Degree of Service.

What is the Moose Legion?
Dedicated members of the Loyal Order of Moose continually look for ways to provide even greater
service to our children at Mooseheart and our senior members at Moosehaven.  The Moose
Legion provides a venue for these enthusiastic members to direct and lead special programs that
accomplish this fraternal mission.

Who belongs to the Moose Legion?
Moose Legionnaires come from all walks of life and occupations. They are leaders in their
communities and they prevail in positions of responsibility and leadership within the Moose
fraternity.  Each Moose Legionnaire believes strongly in doing some good thing for someone each
day. Membership in the Moose Legion is the stepping stone to the Honorary Degrees of our Order
– the Fellowship Degree of Honor and the Pilgrim Degree of Merit.  Being called to receive these
Honorary Degrees within the Loyal Order of Moose is only possible through recognized
achievements in the Lodge and Moose Legion.

Why should I consider joining the Moose Legion? Membership in the Degree of Service offers you
additional opportunities to serve childhood and old age, and opens the door to you and your family
for theme parties, sporting events, community service projects and other unique activities available
only to members of the Moose Legion.  Moose Legion Celebrations are held at various Lodges
within the jurisdiction of your Moose Legion, and serve as a means to share ideas and enjoy good
times with fellow Moose Legionnaires.  Leadership skills may be developed through the Moose
Legion Committee of your Lodge or within the Moose Legion jurisdiction.
