Hello,
Please see the attachment showing how it is currently wired.
I have 3 switches in one gang box.(3 way to kitchen light, single pole to bathroom light and 3 way switch controls upper portion of multiple outlets)
- Power Source: Located at kitchen light. (white , black & ground)
- Kitchen light 3 way switch: Between both switches there is a 3 wire with ground. (red,black & white) From switch in 3 gang box to kitchen light there is 3 wire with ground. (red,black & white)
- Bathroom light: 1 each single pole switch to light (black, white & ground)
- Switched outlet:3 way switch (brown, white, black & ground)
Issue: No dedicated common for bathroom light. Need to make use of the red wire located at the light so I can have a dedicated common for the bathroom light.
Provided hot to the single pole switch, but no dedicated common. Provided hot to the outlet 3 way switch and it works fine.enter image description here

That kitchen switch loop needs to be redone to meet Code
Right now, the reason you are searching in vain for a neutral for your bathroom light is because you violated NEC 404.2(C) when you wired the switch loop for the kitchen lights by capping off the red and using the white as the always-hot wire.
You need to fix this as follows (with the breaker off, of course):
Moving onto the switch box:
Once you're done with this, you can button things up and enjoy your new bathroom light! (If you want advice on the mudroom receptacles, by the way, edit your question with more info and I'll incorporate fixing them up into my answer.)
