Frequently Asked Question

What food should I bring with me?

Last Updated 7 days ago

You will need to bring enough food for the duration of your expedition. We recommend choosing foods that are easy to carry, store and cook, such as:

  • Pasta
  • Rice
  • Powdered soup
  • Tinned tomatoes
  • Other lightweight, non-perishable foods

Groups often bring Kingsmill pancakes to enjoy as a dessert!

Pot Noodles are not recommended and should not be used as a main meal on your DofE expedition. They do not provide enough nutritional value to properly fuel you for the amount of walking and physical activity you will be doing.

Please remember that all food brought on a JLGB DofE expedition must be Kosher.

When planning your meals, make sure you bring enough food to keep you well fuelled throughout the day, as you will be doing a lot of walking and physical activity.
