"Strong and Majestic, The Moose is unique in all the animal kingdom. The woodland is his home. The green things of the forest are his food. He takes only what he needs, nothing more. He loves freedom and is the master of his domain. Yet for his great size and strength he lives in peace with other creatures. The Moose uses his size and power not to dominate but to protect, not to spoil but to preserve. He is a fierce protector, a loyal companion, and a generous provider who brings comfort and security to those within his defending circle.

      All who would bear the name of this noble animal are called to follow his vision, to courageously seeks the heights, strive for lofty goals and lead the way for others to follow. To live the vision of the Moose is to look at the world in a new way, a way that sees not only what is, but what can be. With courageous heart, generous spirit, and lofty vision the moose stands before us, and with us to challenge the future, a challenge that calls us to leave the low meadows and small hills behind and ascend to the heights of life with mighty strides.

      In the true spirit of the moose you are called to live in peace and harmony in your community, using your energy to build, protect and preserve. Every brother Moose owes a common debt to his community, for the community is the birthplace of our Order. From it we renew ourselves and through it we are offered the opportunity to serve. Service is the gift given to us by our communities. It forms the very foundation of our Order and gives life to our ideals.

      As we live and serve so also shall we grow. Others will be drawn to us and to our Order more by what we do than what we say. The greater our deeds, the stronger our Fraternity.

      Across the length and breadth of our countries, communities large and small form the foundation of a free society. As we serve our communities we affirm our freedom as a way of life, and bring honor to our Order."
