it answers my question:

WHAT IS THE MOOSE LEGION?

Following the founding of the Loyal Order of Moose in 1888, dedicated Moose members searched for new ways to be of greater service to the Order. Therefore, the "Second Degree," or Moose

Legion, was established to provide greater opportunities for Lodge members to serve the Lodge and fraternity.

More than a century later, the Moose Legion remains a strong and growing arm of the Loyal Order of Moose. It is comprised of thousands of Moose members in every state and province who desire to elevate their service and leadership skills in their Lodge and Moose Legion jurisdiction. It is also a forum for

members to direct and lead special programs that support the fraternity�s three basic missions: community service programs, Mooseheart and Moosehaven.
