About

History

My name is Titus Er, and I founded Eagleyed in 2022. The site was created to help Scouts discover ideas for their Eagle Scout Projects by compiling a database of completed projects and their beneficiaries across the DMV area. Every resource is manually coded, and outreach is conducted directly with Eagle Scouts to document and share their service efforts.

When I completed my own Eagle Project in 2021, I quickly realized how challenging it could be to plan and organize one. Finding inspiration often meant relying on word-of-mouth advice from other Scouts or friends. While the required paperwork and procedures are important, I saw how much easier the process could be if key Scouting resources were digitized and made accessible online.

I also noticed that many completed Eagle Projects, despite their lasting community impact, often went unrecognized. There was a clear need for a centralized platform to archive and celebrate these acts of leadership, creativity, and service. At a time when the country can feel polarized, showcasing the collective service of Scouts helps highlight unity through purpose.

Website Development Process

The inspect element tool is used to figure out the embedded code class names within WordPress. Then, once the class names are determined, using the class name information as reference, all external website design elements are hardcoded manually using HTML using the HFCM WordPress Plug-in (ex: spacers between posts, contact/about/process pills). The base template used is from WordPress, blogus format.

Outreach is conducted through mutual/personal connections and with the consent of the Eagle Scout, the project information in the Eagle Scout Final Report is extracted and written (with edits) into the post. This ensures that time is saved from the Eagle Scout in sending the Final Report and all the information in the posts is truthful and accurate. Additional photos are also included in posts as a visual tool for the reader.
