Keep Bootstrap submenu open when page is active

I am using Bootstrao in combination with wordpress and I was wondering if is it possibe to make a bootstrap submenu stay open when the current page is in a submenu item.

I think this can be achieved using javascript but I already made some efforts to make it work with out really a proper solution.

For example I have a menu Like this
ABOUT
– Company
– Packaging Benefits
– Design

and I want the sub menu to stay open when I select any of the submenu page

I think it will be tricky to post the whole code but so far this is what I have done
