There are Major scales - ascending: C-D-E-F-G-A-B-C and descending: C-B-A-G-F-E-D-C

Then the two main minor scales:

Harmonic minor - ascending A-B-C-D-E-F-G#-A and descending: A-G#-F-E-D-C-B-A

and Melodic minor - ascending: A-B-C-D-E-F#-G#-A and descending: A-G-F-E-D-C-B-A

Then other scales are the augmented or whole tone scale: C-D-E-F#-G#-A#/Bb-C

And the diminished scale: C-D-Eb-F-F#-G#-A-B-C

And then there are modal scales such as Dorian: D-E-F-G-A-B-C-D
and Mixolydian: C-D-E-F-G-A-Bb-C

And plenty more besides as that's just the tip of the iceberg.
