Girl Guides of Canada halt US trips over Trump immigration crackdown concerns

Source: Scripps News

Posted 2:47 PM, Aug 08, 2025


The Girl Guides of Canada, the Canadian equivalent of the Girl Scouts, is pausing all trips to the U.S. due to concerns about the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.

In a statement to Scripps News, the organization said the decision was "rooted in our commitment to inclusivity and the safety of all our members," noting some of them hold citizenship from non-Canadian countries.

"At Girl Guides of Canada, we prioritize creating a safe, inclusive and accepting environment for all members," the statement says. "These values extend to the travel experiences we offer." The pause in travel to the U.S. will begin on Sept. 1. Previously approved trips and future trips are affected by the new policy.

The Girl Guides of Canada have been around for more than 100 years. More than 7 million Canadian girls and women have been involved in Guiding, the organization says.

The Girl Scouts here in the U.S. have a song that troops sing (that referenced the Guides) -

Our Chalet

High up, high on the mountain, we've founded Our Chalet.
High up, high on the mountain, we've founded Our Chalet.
It's sloping roof and wide shall shelter us without a care.
And each Girl Scout and Guide shall find a welcome there.

…. America. Good on the Girl Guides of Canada for staying away too. The ages of their members are the
same ages that Trump and Epstein raped and sex trafficked.
