What electrical equipment and materials will be needed for the installation of a new 15 ampere branch circuit that supplies a new bedroom that has an exit to the outside.
The branch circuit will originate from the subpanel in the kitchen that is located about 20 feet away, and the bedroom is about 14' x 20'

AFCI protection for one and definitely a smoke alarm.
With the exit, a porch light would be required if in fact the door is lockable, which it probably would be.
There would have to be either a switched outlet to provide lighting or a ceiling fixture and the switching would have to be done via a 3way system, or in other words, a 3way switch at the exit door and one at the entry to the bedroom.
I would run a 12 gauge circuit protected on a 15 amp breaker. The distance is not that great and the load is minimal so even 14 gauge would be acceptable as long as it is afci protected.
A outlet on every wall at a minimum of 10' apart would be essential.
Somehow knowing of you Joe, I think their is some trickery involved here 
Sort of like which way does the smoke blow from an electric train going north if the wind is blowing from the east

No tricks Dennis, the AFCI device is the answer, so all of that branch circuit and equipment will protected.
I have used lighted switches, so that makes them become equipment and they consume electricity, unlike a device that doesn't use electricity but only carries it.
