Brian, I looked in the current Guide to Awards and Insignia and the Recruiter patch is listed under the heading " Universal and Nonunit Insignia" section, which suggests it could carry over and the award is the same. When we crossed over Scouts who had earned it in the Pack it stayed on their Scoutbook accounts along with the Arrow of Light. All other Cub Scout awards we no longer visible on the Scout’s profile page. The Awards central website states that “any youth member” can earn the award. Suggesting it permanent like the religious knots.
