Sorry, that fails (with "dummy" as second argument to FoldList) if the  
first element of keepPrior is True.

You haven't specified what you want to do in that case, but maybe this  
would do:

keepPrior = {True, False, True, False, True, False, False, True, True,
     True, False, True};
counter = 0;
Rest@FoldList[(counter++;
     If[#2, Append[#1, counter], {counter}]) &, {}, keepPrior]

{{1}, {2}, {2, 3}, {4}, {4, 5}, {6}, {7}, {7, 8}, {7, 8, 9}, {7, 8, 9,
    10}, {11}, {11, 12}}
