Some very basic ones, I suppose. True survival skills are probably above the level of Cub-aged boys. They are taught to use the buddy system and stay put if they are lost. Older Cubs are taught to use pocket knives and build fires. But true, comprehensive survival skills are not taught until Boy Scouts (6th grade and up). There is an optional wilderness survival merit badge for those interested.
