In an xterm (which is what I assume your talking about), Control- Middle 
Mouse Button will give you a menu. The first item is scroll bar. 

Alternatively, when you start an xterm term, add the -sb option to the
command line. Or edit your .Xdefaults and add
xterm*scrollBar:        True

 said seventh heaven was as close as an eighth note from Beethoven's 'Ninth
 Symphony, ' so, nervous as a tenth grader drowning in eleventh-hour cramming
 for a physics exam, I swept her into my longing arms, and while humming
 'The Twelfth Of Never,' I got lucky on Friday the thirteenth."
