basics for a kissing merit badge

My great grandson is getting older and more sophisticated.  At age 9, he is on the edge of being manly and reluctant to get a kiss from me.  He has been in Cub Scouts for a while and is learning about awards, ranks, achievements and badges.

I asked him if he had earned the kissing merit badge.  He said no and that he doubted there was such a thing as a kissing merit badge.  I am pretty sure that Scouts can construct a badge specifically for a given purpose if supervised by an adult, such as me.  In the interests of furthering knowledge, skills and insights for boys and girls too, of course, I am giving here what might be a skeleton outline of the requirements for a kissing merit badge.
Discuss theory and demonstrate good practice of kissing in the following areas:
Preparation for kissing
    Deciding who to kiss
    Reacting to an offer of a kiss from another
    Being physically attractive with good breath, etc
    How to stand or sit for kissing

    Kissing your father
    Kissing other adult family members
    Kissing someone's hand or ring

    Air-kissing in the vicinity of another person
    Kissing a dog or cat
    Throwing kisses
Performing a kiss
    Kissing standing
    Kissing sitting
    Kissing lying down
    Kissing in motion as on bicycles or horses
    Kissing with braces
    Pausing before fully engaging
    Eye contact before, during and after a kiss
    Position of the hands during kisses
    Position of the lips, teeth, jaw, tongue, and neck during kisses
Behavior post-kiss
    Embarrassment
    Reacting to one's own displeasure or disgust
