My teaching experience tells, that scales are best studied in routines adapted to the pitch of any given instruments.
You can find my free Low brass scale routines in .pdf via the link given below here.
There are routines for the Major mode, the 3 most common Minor modes, the Mixolydian mode, and the Dorian mode.
Each routine has pages dedicated for euphonium TC/BC and for tubas in F, Eb, CC, and BBb. You of course only have to print the shared preface and the pages dedicated to the pitch of your instrument. Start out with the Major and Natural Minor modes.
When you have worked through these routines, you will have a pretty good command of a 4 octave range on your instrument.
