Girl Guides of Canada says it is pausing all trips to the U.S. starting next month over concerns some members could be impacted by border changes put in place by the Trump administration.

In an email to Global News, the organization said it had made the decision to pause U.S.-bound trips as of Sept. 1 “after careful consideration.”

“This decision is rooted in our commitment to inclusivity and the safety of all our members,” Girl Guides wrote. “At Girl Guides of Canada, we prioritize creating a safe, inclusive and accepting environment for all members. These values extend to the travel experiences we offer.”
