Acorn Naturalists specializes in the development and distribution of high quality educational resources for Scout and other outdoor programs. Literally thousands of hands-on activities and other educational products are available on our website acornnaturalists.com, in our printed catalog (which you can download here or contact us to receive a copy by mail) or at our walk-in Science and Nature Store.

In addition to this website, our printed catalog, and store, we have developed downloadable guides that correlate resources offered by Acorn Naturalists with Girl and Boy Scout merit badge and elective requirements. The educational resources we offer are selected by credentialed teachers and are designed to inspire and educate - to enhance outdoor learning experiences while having fun!

All of the products listed are available on our website - simply type in part of all of the product name in the "Site Search" found on every page of this website. You can also call (800) 422-8886, visit us in person at 155 El Camino Real, Tustin, California, or email us to receive a free copy of our 200 page catalog of science and nature resources.

Although the lists shown below have been developed by credentialed teachers familiar with Scout and other outdoor education programs, the resources we offer are designed to enhance core programs - specific guidebooks from each group or organization as well as local environmental factors need to be blended with this list to create optimal learning experiences.
