It depends on the scale in question:

* The diatonic scale (seven notes) * The melodic and harmonic minor scales (seven notes) * The chromatic scale (twelve notes) * The whole tone scale (six notes) * The pentatonic scale (five notes) * The octatonic or diminished scales (eight notes) Then of course there are the Indian Swara scales which have varying numbers of notes too.

Theoretically eight but the first and last notes are the same note - just an octave higher or lower.
