Check the tutorial
http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/Get_Started_With_Scribus:6
for a sense of how Master Pages can be used. Master Pages are the 
invariable background for other content which changes from page to page. 
You can have more than one Master Page for different sections, for left 
or right pages, and so on.

If it's going to be the same on every page or every other page, Master 
Pages probably make more sense.
If you just want to copy a frame or group and place it on one other page 
at the same XY coordinates, copy (Ctrl-C or various menu possibilities), 
then go to the page you want to place the copy and Paste (Ctrl-V).
