Can you name any crustaceans that don't live in the water?

Yes, there are terrestrial forms of crustaceans, but they must return to the water to breed.
Also, a scorpion is neither a crustacean nor an insect. Insects belong to the sub-phylum mandibulata (the same one crustaceans are in). Scorpions belong to the sub-phylum chelicerata (along with spiders).

First, Scorpions are NOT insects, they are arachnids. Spiders, mites and ticks are also arachnids.
"Crustaceans include lobsters, crayfish, prawns, crabs, seed shrimps, amphipods, isopods, ostracods, barnacles, slaters, pill bugs. Although originally aquatic, many crustaceans, such as slaters and beachhoppers, are adapted to life on land." Pill bugs are strickly land crustaceans. See link below:

crustaceans don't have to live in the water....one is the pill bug...and there's a woodlouse i think some crustaceans live in water but can also go on land...but i'm not sure.

No! There are some members of the group Isopoda that live outside the water, I don't know their names though. There are also members of other families that live in land, sadly I also fail to give examples here

The woodlouse and land crabs are some of the few terrestrial ones but they need damp places.
