On the internet every where you look.
However say it's any major scale, there are two half steps (between notes 2 and 3 and notes 7 and 8). You can do that up and down on one string without much thought. Crossing over to different strings as you go up and down the scale you start considering patterns (which depends on the tuning your guitar is set to). With ascending cross strings patterns beginning from the root note I often start off major scales on the middle finger and minor scales on the index finger.
In the actual tunes what are frequently used are not pure diatonic scales played in linear directions. Also the use of open strings can allow time for quite a bit leaping up and down the fretboard during your solo note lines.
