You can achieve this very simply, in your terminal window ensure you're within the parent folder that your scss folder lives within, next you can use the below command being mindful to change app.scss to the name of your actual base SCSS file that you're importing your code into.
sass --watch scss/app.scss:style.css
One other thing to note is the colon between .scss and style, anything on the left side of the colon is the source path and anything on the right side is the compiled path.
Hope that helps.
