Here are some ideas for projects, but they're not quick or easy, you wouldn't earn anything except the LazyBoy award for that. .

Does "idc" mean "I don't care"? Nice.

You are missing the entire point of earning Eagle rank, my dear Life Scout. The entire point of an Eagle project is not one that is quick or easy, or that does not benefit people or your community. The point is to allow you to learn to plan, organize, and carry out the direction and work of a community service project. If you want someone else to do the work of determining a project that can be done simply and fast, then you are either not ready to become an Eagle, or your 18th birthday is coming up quickly and you haven't done anything to prepare for a project.
This said, then probably the easiest project to organize is a blood drive, but you and your team have to do the work to find a site, get the Red Cross in, do the publicity to get folks to donate, and man the site the day of the drive. This takes upwards of 6 months, btw. You also have to sit down with your Scoutmaster and Troop Committee and get approval for the project which means you need to do work beforehand to be able to answer their questions about your project. No approval at this level, no project. Then you have to carry it out and follow through with it, turn your paperwork in on time, and complete, and sit for an Eagle Board of Review.
How do I know this? Well, both of my sons are Eagles, I have been a Boy Scout mother for 23 years, as well as Scoutmaster, board of review member, and merit badge counselor. My grandson is about to join his father's troop with expectations of becoming the first second generation Eagle in the troop. He is already, at 11, planning his project. I think you need to take another good, long look at becoming an Eagle, because you aren't ready to make this committment to leadership.

NO!!! Actually, the easiest way out is to get out of the Eagle program and wait a year or two until you are mature enough to handle it. It sure doesn't sound like you are yet. Wait a little while, and then try again. The Eagle program is something you really need to work at. If you don't put in the work, and still want the recognition, you are really making a mockery of the whole process -- as well as insulting or denigrating those who really have worked hard for this very special honor. This is an honor you actually earn, not a kids' trophy you get for breathing. Earning it is work.
