Hiking/Backpacking recommendations

The OB has never let me down, so I'm again asking for recommendations.

Short version: I need a small, lightweight backpacking tent, and possibly a pack as well. It will be used a few times a year for 1-2 nights of camping, but may also see more use than that. I don't really need a 4 season tent for this. At this age, the hikes will be relatively short, maybe a few miles into the woods and find a spot to set up camp for the night. Not in a state park with established sites to set up a tent on. I don't really want to strap a 5 man tent on my back and haul it through the woods, so just something light that gives good shelter from the elements.

Long version: My two boys and I joined a scouting troop a little over a year ago. They are split up into 5 different age groups, meaning 5-6, 7-8, and 9-10 year olds are in those three groups for meetings and campouts or other activities. And then there are two older groups, I think from 11-13, and 14 and up. We do 4 big camping trips with the entire group each year. Typically fall and spring for actual camping, and winter/summer for other overnight trips. Just as an example, this last year, we did a big fall campout in October and again in April. In January we spent the night in a local kids museum (McWane Center for other Birmingham folks) and in August took them to the Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga. So I already have a decent 5-man tent for those trips that involve actual camping.

Now that my oldest has moved up to the first of the two older boys groups, there are more campouts and trips that happen where we leave the younger ones behind so the older ones get some experience with more adventurous things that a kid age 5-10 either wouldn't appreciate or couldn't keep up. The first one of those is coming up soon. I think it is being called a backcountry campout, or a primitive campout. Either way, we are all meeting at a trailhead and hiking into the woods, see some waterfalls, etc. So it won't be our normal car camping where we go to a state park and are camping within 100 feet of our vehicles. There's another one coming up next March as well. I think that one is either caves or rappelling. Same situation, there will be a smaller group, maybe 10-12 boys and their dads, so we won't take a ton of gear on that one either.

As a bonus, my boys are 5 years apart, so right about the time my oldest would be aging out of this type of trip, my youngest will be right there behind him, so I don't mind spending a little more to get something that will last a good long time, knowing I'll get a ton of use out of it.
