At least one local trip to Michigan has been cancelled as Girl Guides of Canada says it will not approve any travel to the United States.
The organization says it decided to cancel future trips due to uncertainty over whether all of its members would equally be allowed to enter the U.S.
It says in a statement that the organization values providing safe, inclusive and accepting experiences to its members, including when travelling.
At least one group of Sault Ste. Marie Girl Guides will have to forego a May trip to Michigan due to the national ban, according to a notice that went out Monday.
Although the U.S. is a "frequent destination" for its members, the organization says all trips including travel that requires connecting through an American airport will not be approved.
The statement says provincial advisers on international travel will contact a small number of groups that were already approved for trips to the United States about how they should proceed.
A nationally sponsored trip to a camp in California that was scheduled for this summer is also being relocated.
"This was a very difficult decision to make," the statement says. "We hope that members will appreciate this reflects our commitment to inclusivity and equal opportunities for all girls and women."
The organization is not the first to ban children's trips to the United States.
