We see that he keeps his scroll on his belt usually. I think it was on his shield because he's finally learning to listen to Glynda's advice. She told him to look at it more often to gauge his HP level and decide on tactics, so he puts it in a place where, in normal combat, it would frequently be at eye level for him.

He still hasn't worked out the 'fight defensively' thing but, let's be plain here, he's probably 4+ years behind everyone else in terms of learning tactics and fighting skills.
