The Moose Organization

Loyal Order of the Moose

 The Loyal Order of Moose is a fraternal and service organization founded  in 1888 with nearly 650,000 men in roughly 1,600 Lodges in 49 states  and four Canadian provinces, plus Great Britain. Along with other units  of Moose International, the Loyal Order of Moose supports the operation  of Mooseheart Child City & School, a 1,000-acre community for  children and teens in need, located 40 miles west of Chicago; and  Moosehaven, a 70-acre retirement community for its members near  Jacksonville, FL. Additionally, members of the Moose conduct  approximately $70 million worth of community service (counting monetary  donations and volunteer hours worked) annually.The Loyal Order of Moose  organizes and participates in numerous sports and recreational programs,  in local Lodges and Family Centers in the majority of 44 State and  Provincial Associations, and on a fraternity-wide basis.  Lodges across  the Fraternity are known for creating life-long bonds between members  through activities and a shared concern for children in need, seniors  and the communities in which they live. 

Women of the Moose

 The Women of the Moose, established in 1913, is a unit of Moose  International. Our members work in harmony with the members of the Loyal  Order of Moose to provide a helping hand to those in need. Our members dedicate countless volunteer hours each year to over  1,400 Chapters across the United States and Canada as well as their  communities. More importantly, the Women of the Moose is one of the  largest contributors to the support and maintenance of Mooseheart Child  City and School and Moosehaven Retirement care facility. On an annual  basis, the Women of the Moose throughout the fraternity donate more than  one million dollars to support programs and activities at these two  campuses.

The Women of the Moose provides social, educational and community  service opportunities to its members, as well as sporting events and  activities geared toward the entire family. Our members are  enthusiastic; they bring a special passion and commitment to the Moose  fraternity. But don’t think the Women of the Moose are all work and no  play – they also bring a unique brand of fun and energy to their  meetings and functions.

Moose Legion

 Moose Legionnaires feel an increased level of pride in membership.  Opportunities to be leaders and to provide additional support for the  Order’s philanthropic causes in relation to Mooseheart & Moosehaven  are recognized through involvement in this degree.

Each lodge is encouraged to organize Moose Legion Committees. These  groups hold various functions for the social enjoyment of the local  members. By so doing not only do the members enjoy their membership even  more, but additional support is generated for the lodge itself.

Additionally, an area of lodge’s band together and unify efforts to  form Moose Legion jurisdictions (sort of like a district). These  jurisdictions then hold additional functions for members, set up by the  boards of directors elected by the members. They raise significant funds  for support of Moosehaven and Mooseheart as well as general support of  the state and provincial associations and indeed the fraternity itself.
