how to use scrollspy without using bootstrap

Does anyone know how to use scrollspy without using bootstrap? I am trying to get this to work in one of my projects using this repository:

https://github.com/sxalexander/jquery-scrollspy

but it just doesn't do what the bootstrap one does. The li tags are not marked as active :( Any help would be appreciated.

I have tried doing this:

    $('#intel_nav').scrollspy({
        //n: $('#nav').offset().top,
        onEnter: function (element, position) {
            console.log(element);

            $("#intel_nav").addClass('moo');
        },
        onLeave: function (element, position) {
            $("#intel_nav").removeClass('out');
        }
    });

The element appears to be the actual menu, so I have no idea how to actually get the id of the element I am currently hovering over.

If anyone is still interested in this, I couldn't get the bootstrap scrollspy to work quickly enough so I wrote my own (technically inefficient, but simple) solution.

Here's a demo:

$(window).bind('scroll', function() {
    var currentTop = $(window).scrollTop();
    var elems = $('.scrollspy');
    elems.each(function(index){
      var elemTop 	= $(this).offset().top;
      var elemBottom 	= elemTop + $(this).height();
      if(currentTop >= elemTop && currentTop <= elemBottom){
        var id 		= $(this).attr('id');
        var navElem = $('a[href="#' + id+ '"]');
    navElem.parent().addClass('active').siblings().removeClass( 'active' );
      }
    })
}); 
.active{
  color: red;
  background-color: red;
}

#nav{
  position:fixed;
  top:0;
  right:50%;
}

section{
  min-height: 500px;
}

      <nav id="nav" class="navbar navbar-template">
