Where are P2SH full redeem scripts stored?

Where are P2SH full redeem scripts stored?

A pay-to-script-hash/P2SH full redeem script can be up to 520-bytes in size. Just to clarify, prior to being revealed/spent, is the redeem script stored in the spender/Bob's wallet or elsewhere?

The developer guide says:

"When Bob wants to spend the output, he provides his signature along with the full (serialized) redeem script in the signature script." (https://bitcoin.org/en/developer-guide#p2sh-scripts)

Soroushjp states:

"The redeem script itself is only revealed, checked against the redeem script hash, and evaluated during the spending transaction." (http://www.soroushjp.com/2014/12/20/bitcoin-multisig-the-hard-way-understanding-raw-multisignature-bitcoin-transactions/)

Antonpuolous states:

"P2SH shifts the burden in data storage for the long script from the output (which is in the UTXO set and therefore affect memory) to the input (only stored on the blockchain)." (2014:133)

(This question asks almost the same thing: Where the P2SH script gets written?)

(There's an unintended relationship with this question "Storing scripts (smart contracts) outside the blockchain", insofar as the location of redeem scripts.)
