Not really a long list. Here is what I use: 

block tcp any any -> $UNUSED any (msg:"TCP Port Scan";) 
block udp any any -> $UNUSED any (msg:"UDP Port Scan";) 
block icmp any any -> $UNUSED any (msg:"ICMP Scan";) 

$UNUSED includes all unused IP address, defined in snort.conf with
[x.x.x.a,x.x.x.b,x.x.x.c] etc.
