In order to read music you will have to memorize the scales. There are people out there though that can play by just hearing the music and repeating it. Personally I think it limits you when you cant read music. Good luck. You don't have to memorize scales to learn to read music, however, it makes playing correctly in the key easier. Memorizing scales is a overall part of musicianship and understanding concepts of music. It also helps greatly if you want to improv, especially in Jazz Music.

Is the scale the same as the key?

I can't answer that directly but the scale is the group of notes written out in order with any sharps or flats that is necessary to the scale. The key is the scale that a piece of music is based on. So, in some ways they are, but they are not exactly the same.

Do you have to play scales in a certain order?

If you are attempting to play an actual scale, then yes. They must always be in order. To help memorize scales faster, remember that the letter names of each pitch will always be in alphabetical order: C-D-E-F-G-A-B-C is a C major scale Ab-Bb-C-Db-Eb-F-G-Ab is an Ab major scale, and so on. The only thing that differentitates each scale from another is its starting point and key signature. The C major scale has no sharps or flats, whereas the Ab major scale has 4 flats and no sharps, etc... It is always important to learn your key signatures quickly! This will help you to learn your scales faster, and make sense of the music you are attempting to play.
