Modern Woodmen has a long history of participating in parades – including one that took place 100 years ago this month! Modern Woodmen Foresters (member drill teams) from across the country came together in Chicago in June 1925. Each member carried a ceremonial prop known as a parade ax. They wore different uniform colors to denote their camp (chapter). #ModernPioneers

Joseph Cullen Root found inspiration for a new fraternal benefit society during a summer Sunday sermon. He heard a story about the pioneer woodmen who cleared forests to build homes and communities. The story aligned with his vision for an organization that would provide security by clearing families’ financial burdens – not trees. Thus, our name, Modern Woodmen of America, was born. It continues to symbolize our commitment to financial security, family life, and community impact. #ModernPioneers #PioneersForLife #ButterflyEffect
