Geez, that Canon isn't a Rebel either. Thats quite a piece of gear for a high school student.
Then again, I probably had much more disposable income back then than I do now. I might have a lot more income, but mortgage, gas, and diapers (to name a few) are certainly not cheap.

Don, you ever use the little film camera that snaps a shot when the parachute deploys on the rocket? I see your in uniform merit badge project I bet.
The Estes Rocket was called "CAMROC" ... and no one had built it, in our group. I was the Cub Den Leader for this event ... and to keep it official, I was uniformed. My son eventually got the Space Exploration Merit Badge (his very first), when he attended Space Camp, in Huntsville, AL. He had to build another rocket for that and successfully launch it.
This event was simply a more fun Den project, for the, then, Webelos Cub Scouts. We did a lot of cool stuff, being one of the first in the area to host a Space Derby. Oh well ... I leave it to younger folks, now. My patience is a lot thinner. Kids are a lot different than they were only ten years ago. Their parents can have 'em.

Look, I did not create the optical laws of the Universe ... I simply learned to deal with them.
Remember: It is usually the GLASS, not the camera (except for moving to Full Frame), that gives you the most improvement in your photography. flickr® & Sdi
The Canon boy is a friend of my daughters, the camera belongs to the schools yearbook / newspaper, Still pretty nice to 'learn on'
Don, my secretary at work who is the lady that really does all the work and types my reports with out spelling errors LOL her son took rockets for his 4H project last year. he is 8 so it was all pretty cool for him. I dug out my estes stuff that has been stored away for years and gave to him, including my 1 meter apollo model, I don't even know if you can get engines to launch that anymore!

I had a Phoenix Missile I was going to build for the following year, but we never got around to it. I got involved with planning the District Pinewood Derby for two years and that shot a lot of free time. After then, there were other Scouting events, with the troop of Boy Scouts. Repelling off cliffs, cruising down rivers, wilderness adventure, hikes of all kinds, summer camp and just plain community support activities. Geez ... I'm surprised I got up in the morning.
Anyway ... maybe I'll finish it this year. Who knows?
