Sure! The only scales you need to worry learning about on a first instance are the pentatonic, major, and minor. Don't overwhelm yourself thinking about the rest; for all practical purposes in the styles we play, every other scale and mode is just a variation of those three principal ones.
So, given there's only those three, you better learn them inside-out. Learn them by position so that you will always know your place around the neck, and most important, you'll start to understand and identify the patterns that build them.
For example, learn how to play a G major scale in first position (without open strings so that you can transpose this up the neck), across all strings. Then play the chords arpeggiated in that position, as in this picture
There on the first line I wrote down the pattern for a major scale (begin the very first note with your middle finger and place your other fingers accordingly), then the arpeggios for the first two chords with their 7ths. You can probably figure the rest out once you realize how the patterns are working.
Once you begin getting comfortable with those, start messing around with them. What if you play three notes, go one back, play three again, and advance in that manner? Make it 4, make it 5, whatever. What if you sneak one of the notes that lie in-between the pattern? Or maybe begin it from the second note instead of the first. Explore as much as you can, what's important is that you get the feeling for the scale and its harmonies ingrained in your brain.
Do the same for the pentatonic and minor scales, and you've got the most important grounds covered up, then you can start looking at what's next.
