[philmont] Where does the bull go?

The bull is typically sewn on the red wool Scout jacket on the front left shoulder. Where the tail is placed means absolutely nothing. It's written someplace, but on short notice, I can't find it.

  It traditionally goes over the left shoulder and, yes, it is tradition that the tail goes over the shoulder seam if you went over the tooth. I sat "traditionally" as it is not written dawn anyplace and I have seen the bull sewn on the red wool jacket in just about everyplace imaginable.

    As the lead Advisor for crew 711E-3, I completed trek 24 (after waiting over 30 years to get to Philmont). I proudly purchased my felt "black bull" patch for my red jacket, but I'm not 100% sure of where to sew it on. I know it goes over the left pocket, but the collar seems to cover part of it. I also hear that the tail is supposed to go over the shoulder seam, since I went over the tooth. Does anyone have a picture they can post for me to look at?
    Thanks.
