I have been told by people who should know; it should be touching the next highest bagde.

Here is a link to the official inspection sheet off the BSA site.
http://www.scouting.org/forms/34283.pdf The inspection sheet does not really say, but read what it says about the left sleeve & look how it is placed on the right sleeve.
I think it is more important to be a member of a quality unit than the exact placement of the badge. If your troop is consistant in one placement, I would do that.
