You can't have a single control in multiple locations, it's that simple. I saw your comment about not wanting to use a UICollectionView because it's not the design you're looking for, but I wonder what kind of design you want to create with UIScrollView only because UICollectionView doesn't works.
UICollectionView is not restrained to line/grid display of cells, but can be customized in a huge amounts of ways. You should watch the WWDC 2012 video "Introducing Collection Views" : at the end of it, some UICollectionView possibilities are shown and some of them are quite impressive.
Also, https://www.cocoacontrols.com/ website is a good place to find custom controls and even inspiration for your own design.
This is a little digression from the original issue, but I really think that a collection of UIImageView within an UIScrollView can be created with a UICollectionView, especially if you want to add some controls within your "cells".
