What you need for an Energy Excursion

An Energy Excursion needs more than packed lunches and bottled water. You will need reusable tableware, cooled drinks, route materials, identification badges, charging equipment and safety items for changing conditions. Plan quantities from the confirmed attendee list, including dietary requirements and accessibility needs. Pack shared equipment separately from personal lunch packs so loading, distribution and return checks are straightforward.

Tips

  • Prepare one lunch pack per attendee, plus a small reserve for late registrations or damaged packs. Use the reusable lunchboxes and label dietary variations before departure.
  • Allow at least two reusable cups per person when drinks will be served at more than one stop. Fill the thermos flasks and water jugs before leaving, and keep coolers accessible during transport.
  • Print one route map and one programme flyer for each attendee, then bring extra copies for guides, drivers and unexpected participants. Keep them in document folders or waterproof sleeves.
  • Prepare badges with name stickers and cords before the excursion day. Pack clipboards, pens and questionnaires together so registration and the energy survey do not delay the start.
  • Take one power bank and the correct charging cable for each device that must stay operational, especially the camera and megaphone. Keep flashlights, safety vests, reflective armbands, rain ponchos and the first-aid kit in an easy-to-reach bag.

Frequently asked questions

How much water do I need for an Energy Excursion?
Plan at least 1.5 litres of drinking water per person for a full-day excursion, adjusted for weather and activity. Bring additional water in jugs for refilling reusable cups.
How many lunch packs should I prepare?
Prepare one lunch pack for every confirmed attendee, including guides and staff who will eat with the group. Add 5 to 10 percent extra, and keep dietary-specific packs clearly labelled.
What should I pack for bad weather on an Energy Excursion?
Bring one rain poncho per participant and check the forecast 24 hours before departure. Add safety vests and reflective armbands when visibility may be poor or part of the route runs near traffic.
When should I print the route maps and programme?
Print them 2 to 3 days before the excursion, after the route and programme are confirmed. Keep a few spare copies and store the paper in waterproof folders or bags.
