It is important to learn at least a few scales on the guitar, especially if you want to become a lead guitar player. Most guitar players learn the pentatonic scale because its simple, popular and has many uses. Be sure to check out the pentatonic scale fingerings lesson.
Knowing the major scale will help you later understand how chords are constructed. Do not try to learn too much at once. Learning a new fingering for one scale is probably enough for a whole week.
