I recommend the SOG Mini Aegis. I think it satisfies all of your requirements. I gave my sister the SOG Flash 2 when she headed off to college. This is a similar knife but with the 3" blade you're going for.

Scouts should bring their own, but the one I would really suggest, though a bit pricey is the Sog Mini Aegis I picked his up on massdrop for $42.
Currently on Amazon for $42.29
I got one for my son. It's perfect size for Bear hands and has a safety. The only caveat is the assisted opening.
Bear Claws makes me nervous with my den. I've got 24 boys this year and It's going to be quite the adventure. I'm saving it for late in the year and making sure I have plenty of first aid supplies.
I would definitely not start with Bear Claws. I never do them in book order.
