24th Century Scout Ships

I think the OP is looking for a ship analogous to a runabout but not as bulky, and has an actual saucer section, like a mid-24th century version of the SNW USS Archer.
 
Lots of ideas here, though still all on the too large side of things (the Shi'Kahr-Class has a nice look to her, definitely fits in with the time period I have in mind, though might have to do what Masao Okazaki when he designed the U.S.S. Sagittarius and think about how a scaled down version might look).
 
Something around that size, maybe a little bigger but definitely under 100m. Her size would be an asset, useful for being overlooked on long-range scans.

Only if powered down. If a scan can spot a 600m+ Galaxy at 10 light years, it's not really going to be challenged by a mere sixthing of the size. Less power output would be more of a factor, but you'd probably WANT a scout to have a fairly powerful warp engine for its size...
