A shovel is an absolute necessity to lower your impact on the outdoors (and others).  And when you're camping in a group such as family, scout units or youth programs, the problem of backwoods sanitation becomes even more important.

While possibly not the most glamorous piece of hardware in your arsenal, the U Dig It camp trowel is the perfect answer to this problem and more.  The U Dig It is a well built but light weight trowel made of durable stainless steel.  It's sturdy construction will hold up for years, even for the weekend gardener.  It folds for carry in the included holster, and weighs a mere 6.5 oz, which is a featherweight compared to your other folding metal shovels.
