Where to put glScale?

[Aliii]

Im working on a program where I can move around with the camera in the "world" and draw objects. All objects have a position ...a pivot point.

I draw this way:

----------------
glLoadIdentity();
glRotate( ...camera orientation);
glTranslate( ...camera position);

drawOtherStuff1();

For( every object){

glPushMatrix();
glTranslate( ...object position);

drawObject();

glPopMatrix();

}

drawOtherStuff2();
----------------

Now this seems to be OK, however I want to scale the objects and I dont know where(and how) to put glScale. I guess I should scale the matrix before I translate and/or rotate it with the camera position and orientation. Should I call a pushMatrix() after the first loadIdentity, then pop it back and scale-rotate-translate before every drawObject() method?

Thanks!

(Plus: In the near future I want to add rotation to the objects, so if you can give any information or link on that, thats appreciated too)

Usually you apply scale as the first transformation followed by rotation and then translation. But this is very typical and basic.
