The Scrollspy is a plugin which is used to highlight the links in a navigation according to the scroll position automatically. It indicates the location of the visitor/user in the page. The Bootstrap scrollspy plugin needs the use of proper bootstrap nav tabs (e.g. navbar, nav tabs or pills) to make the links applicable. 

Here is the example to create bootstrap scrollspy :- 

HTML :- 

<nav class="navbar navbar-inverse navbar-fixed-top">
  <div class="container-fluid">
    <div class="navbar-header">
        <button type="button" class="navbar-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#myNavbar">
          <span class="icon-bar"></span>
          <span class="icon-bar"></span>
          <span class="icon-bar"></span>                        
      </button>
      <a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Bootstrap Scrollspy</a>
    </div>
    <div>
      <div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="myNavbar">
        <ul class="nav navbar-nav">
          <li><a href="#section1">Section 1</a></li>
