Well, the BSA (American Scouting organisation) has the 'Be Prepared' philosophy, but that doesn't mean they are all taught firearms and each carry a bugout bag around with them, just in case there's any civil unrest.
There is a rifle shooting merit badge, though it's not an Eagle scout requirement. Wilderness survival is also an elective, and both merit badges are offered at most council summer camps.

If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.
