Mahi Tahi is the resource used to manage members and events. Specifically, Kaiārahi use it to:
- Manage membership — once a member registers on Mahi Tahi, they are placed on the group’s member list and receive an invitation to complete contact and health details.
- Run events — create events and send invites to members (though the events functionality is noted by some groups as still being cumbersome, with improvements promised)
- Access programme resources — Mahi Tahi includes lots of resources to help create a youth programme, as well as how-to guides and Scouts NZ policies
- Communicate safely — Mahi Tahi was built to ensure one-on-one conversations cannot be had, with thorough content filters and flagging abilities for anything inappropriate
- Replace older systems — Mahi Tahi has replaced Online Scout Manager (OSM) as the central admin tool
