Just a small bit of advice.

Please don't just memorize the "shapes" of the scales. Understand the different intervals present in each scale, and memorize the distance of each note from the one before it, so you won't be forced into one "shape" or position, but you'll have command of the scale throughout the fret board.

Maybe instead of learning a bunch of scales, you could learn your major scales inside and out. Learn the modes of the major scale, and definitely take some time to learn the diatonic triads of the major scale.

After you do everything that's been suggest already, turn the light off and practice until you can do everything just as well. It will force you to "listen" to what you're doing instead of mechanically playing positions.

I planned on doing something like that.

Remember learning a fingering pattern and actually learning a scale are two different things. Too many confuse learning a fingering pattern as learning a scale.

First you learn major scale and a fingering pattern so you can play it and start getting the sound in your ears. But you have to start learning how major scales are constructed, the degree names, the intervals, and more. Once you know that info inside out then time to start learning more about other scale and mode, because easy to learn when you have a point of reference. Even after awhile fingering you just need to know how a scale is constructed and you make your own fingerings.

This is the basis of learning, learn one thing inside out, then learning relating info come fast and easy. I used to teach computer programming and same thing. Have student learn one language thoroughly then learns second, third, and more simple.

Are you trying to also learn to read the notes of the scale? Or just play the scale?
