No. However, if you hire the hunters from villages they give a bonus to the skill to everyone. If your companion has 5 to foraging and you have 5 hunters that companion will then have 7 to foraging. But, also, even if you have 0 points to foraging the hunters will contribute 2 to your foraging skill. Therefore, even without investing a single point in foraging you will then contribute the leaders bonus of 1 to foraging.
Therefore you will get 7 +1. Or if you just have 1 hunter and you have 1 point in foraging then you will contribute 1 to the skill.
