Farriers is a Explorer Group that has been around since Explorers started in 2003 which replace Venture Scouts. The Selsley Venture Group was then broken to become Stroud Network 18-25 years and Farriers Explorers 14-18 years. The group name farriers came from when the group was based at the Selsley Scout HQ which is called the forge and as that is a place that a blacksmith that makes shoes for a house whom is called a farrier then the group was name farriers due to this. Although the group has moved to newer larger premisses at Leonard Stanley they are still called Farriers Explorer Scout Unit.
